I apologize for being insufferable here - I'm really not trying to honk my own horn. I'm just always pleased when I think I've figured something out reasonably. It seems helpful to try to figure out someone's motivation. To try to understand what makes them do what they do and why and where the "feet of clay" are hidden. 'Cause you know they're there. Everybody's got 'em. Seems to me if you can kinda understand what moves them, you may - repeat, MAY - have a shot at out-thinking them or anticipating their next behavior.

Sometimes I feel like this whole thing is a freakin' chess game. One that's certainly played on multiple levels!

Anyway, forgive me for sounding obnoxious! I always try to do what I'm good at!
