+1 for this and all the other "Good Stuff"(tm) that you wrote.
I apologize for my bluntness here. I don't mean to tread on anyone's toes. I'm 68 years old
I will see your 68 and raise you another 10. :-)
Cheers, Glen
For people who think that they are thinkers, first of all, you cannot say yourself that you are a thinker. Second, if you were a thinker, you would not talk or write to someone in such rude, hostile and unrespectful ways. Are you a misfit? How can you talk to other humans beings while keeping some mutual trust and good relations?
Some respects for the others is needed.
People who says that they are not superficial are the most superficial ones, because when they see someone who they think are superficial, they cannot (and don't want to) see further than the surface and they automatically think that they are the most stupid form of human beings.
My two cents ;) -Alexandre
the post didn't seem rude to me, just blunt in an American and Australian style of writing -- admittedly, it can seem rude to others.
but the reference to 'thinkers' was inept but I doubt it was meant to imply that _you_ are not a thinker!
I would rather say that the Trinity interface is "really good for thinkers," "designed for thinkers," and without prejudice to people with other preferences, it can be recommended as such.
(as an aside, I don't see the problem though in calling oneself a 'thinker'. it's not like boasting of one's humility! and it would be a blunder if I thought saying I'm not superficial is saying something deep otherwise no problem in it.)
anyway the OP can speak for himself but I hope we don't let this spoil good relations.
that said, I wholly concur with his opinion though.
I am also interested in suggestions that enhance function.
and yes, it is time for another contribution.
