Hello, Dr. Grinder and Ms. Bostic St Clair. In this post, I use the ellipsis symbol "...", to show a deleted portion of a post I quote. In the first post to this thread, I asked: "Suppose many NLP practitioners will pursue many of your book's recommendations, but will not apply triple description systematically.  If you know in advance that they will not apply triple description systematically, will you want them to implement your other recommendations?" to which you replied: "We find your question perplexing. Where did the assumption that we anticipate that readers will not use triple description as we propose come from? The entire purpose of this section is to present a compelling case for precisely this use of triple description." to which I replied: "What you call an assumption was for me a supposition I made to present a hypothetical situation to you both.  I believe that you wrote your book intending for NLP-practicing readers to follow all your recommendations. ... Will you support the efforts of NLP professionals who are not necessarily using Triple Description during their decision-making, even though they are following other recommendations you give in Part III Chapter 3 of your book "Whispering In The Wind"?  ..." to which you replied: "... What efforts are you talking about, Support, how specifically? ..." to which I reply: "By the term 'efforts' I mean to refer to one or more recommended actions you describe in Part III Chapter 3 of your book 'Whispering In The Wind'.  By the term 'support' I mean to refer to you authors publically stating your like for NLP professional's efforts, when those efforts result in one or more of the outcomes recommended in part III chapter 3 of your book 'Whispering In The Wind'."  In the post that this post replies to, you wrote: "... The art of applied NLP is choice - if readers were to follow each and every one of the recommendations we proposed, we would find that disappointing and counterproductive to the objectives clearly stated in the book. As we said in numerous places in Whispering, we are out to stimulate a discussion about the future of the field I (JG) co-created. Do you have a contribution?" to which I reply: "Yes. I want to post to this forum, but I don't want to include more writing in this post.  Thank you for posting to me in this thread." -nj
