“Thanks so much for your very thorough and insightful report. Not only did you identify many of the issues I have been wondering how to address, but you seem to have a method of untangling the knots—that is great! That is what I am most interested in, not just what is off-course, but the root of how to set it straight. You are the first person who has read it who seems to have the skill set to dissect and rebuild . . . yay!”
