You ever considered a holiday? From here I mean? (although the real thing is nice )
Maybe some time off - come back with the batteries recharged?

Re: Logic
No peer review is more savage than that - because it is your peers - people who's expertise is not in question. Here any bullshitter can claim to know about things*. The problem is - because that don't know what they don't know - they think must be right!
* Generally they are quickly found out.

Re: Peer: through a glass darkly
quote:
I think this was the very sort of thing that Robin objected to. No salesman can point to his past performance as a guarantee that he will sell in the future. No soldier to the fact he dodged 100 bullets that he is likely to dodge another.
But no successful salesman is going to listen seriously to someone who tells him he's got it all wrong but has never made a sale in his life. A soldier is not going to take seriously someone sitting in an armchair telling him the best way to dodge bullets.
