37 steps---delayed response

[David Andersen]

So---people responded to my spring strength warning with the old  
"when you do rounds of regulation it all gets done" brush-off.
When was the last time a real-world, paid situation allowed you to do  
"rounds of regulation?" Please.

My point was, and is, this:
If you're looking for biggest radical positive change in the shortest  
possible time, DO THE SPRING STRENGTH FIRST, AND PRECISELY, or the  
other regulation points will not be stable, or end up where you want  
them. Period. And the impact of your work will be diminished. That's  
the cold-light-of-day truth; the person who puts in the foundational  
SMART work and uses his or her years of homework and experience to  
quickly and intuitively diagnose and execute the best signal path  
will win. Every time.

Humph. Rounds of regulation, my a**. <g>
