That's true, Sam. Even a mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. On the other hand, Spinoza said something along the lines that, "a thing does not cease to be true just because it is not accepted by many."

Howard once said: "Don't worry about people messing around with your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats."

Hail and well met, Caidreabh. Like you, Don, and Grishny, I'd like to know whether Sam's quote is of timely relevance, as well. :-)
