I think you are very knowledgeable about those related fields and 
often bring important points of view to the discussion.  As I 
said, I often agree with your conclusions.  The only problem is 
that your conclusion is often preceded by a lot of verbiage that 
isn't really necessary to make your point.

If you have any specific criticism of my business model, I'm glad 
to listen to it and take into account.  I can't do much with 
suggestions that I enumerate how businesses work and figure out 
what you have in mind for myself, or digressions on general 
business strategy that don't seem to have any relevance to this 
business model.
