Hello Owen (not wanting to be an ostrich but responxible),
I think a connotion has such strong overtones, you might have missed the multiplier effect of xxx I was trying to suggest for you. However a clearer ### could have symbolized the volumes we can go to, but this number coding could vector an innuendo I don't mean. I don't want to leave you with the notion of icons to have undermined a frank communication.
I apologize, it came out of reflex. However, I don't want to be nonchalant about the historicity but fully be honed in on what I was handing you, not looking for that empowerment of feelings.
