What an extraordinary article! I have been listening to you for years and it has never crossed my mind that you suffer any deficiency in communicating your ideas, either in person or in writing. In fact your mild-mannered delivery seems to make your arguments all the more powerful. You have the orator's greatest weapon: knowing what you are talking about. Cato's only advice to the orator was "rem tene, verba sequentur" (understand the issue and the words will follow). You are an excellent example of this.
