i was pleasantly surprised at my own ability to judge what a person says. the frequency of his voice and the attitude behind it was congruent with what i was seeing in print. but yes, for most, hearing MH would be a totally different experience from reading his forum and, you are right, a much more complete and accurate one.

also related, written language was never meant to be "read". originally, the symbols were actually pictures that a person would "read" aloud. they were simply cues for what was to be spoken aloud. the spoken word has power. real power. words on a paper must be given power by the reader.

Passion. It shows you are passionate about the things you believe. When you have that kind of passion everything else just fades away.

i like your style. i am a long time talk show listener and i have heard most of them. you beat many nationally syndicated hosts i hear on a regular basis, hands down.
