You were (hoping to see that word morph to 'are') one of the more significant draws for me.
I've always much to say, but quickly wind up convinced word-mediated mutual understanding is a dream even the most capable pipe would laugh hysterically over the thought of taking on.
Something like that....
That's very good of you to say, thank you! That kind of praise really does mean a lot, even if I'm often unsure what to do with it.
For your second point, there's certainly something to that. There's a great David Foster Wallace quote that has stuck with me:
How can I have all this inside me and to you it's just words?
But even then, that kind of mutual understanding (or at least our attempts at it) is all we have.
