I've been away for a week, with no access.  So, here's my response.

Beyond a point is the operative phrase.  I'm learning more and more about
computers everyday.  But, there are limited ways of expressing the notion
that you ought to back the thing up frequently.  Or that you need to keep
your virus software updated.

We're back to the discussion we had a few months ago.  I put a lot of ME in
my articles.  When I tell my subscribers something, I don't think they
think I invented computers.  But they do seem to appreciate the way I
relate what I have learned about computers to them.  (And I'm sentimental
enough that I get tears with every thank you note.  So shoot me!)

I'm learning about marketing on the internet.  And the way I present that
to people who want to hear what I have to say (if I ever do that kind of
article) is going to be fundamentally different from what someone else
presents.

Same ideas.  But mine will have been processed within the realm of my own
experience, and seasoned with my own expressions.

I didn't think up anything about internet marketing.  But what I write
about it is mine.
