Ace, I’ve got to hand it to you...you’re good, really good but your MO is still decipherable....allow me if I may to explain from a basic playbook of how to subtly plant an idea. This is basically sums up your approach in a nutshell:

“You have to look at planting ideas in the same way you'd look at solving a mystery. Slowly but surely you offer the target a series of clues until the obvious conclusion is the one you want. The key is to be patient, because if you rush through your "clues" it will be obvious. If you take it slow, the idea will form naturally in their mind all by itself.”

I get that some on this board are overly optimistic but at least they have more reason to be overly optimistic than you do being pessimistic. I also know and respect that your opinion is your opinion...well guess what so is mine
