I like what you have done so far but could I suggest it be topped and tailed. Nothing wrong with the introduction but it needs an even shorter abstract telling your audience what you are going to tell them. Then finish off with a few sentences in conclusion telling them what you told them. Did any of that make sense? Politicians like to think they are terribly busy and will not read past the first paragraph it they don’t think it will solve their current problem.

The other thing I would have liked to see is just a few details of the alternatives you have looked at – maybe in the form of a comparison table – which I think would help explain why you prefer this particular solution. (So do I by the way)

Thanx for the feedback, Phil’s Dad.

Don’t know if I’m using the right angle, but I’m trying to avoid the chance of a greenwashing backlash by focusing on the “renewable energies” smokescreen so that any thinking person will connect the dots to a cleaner environment. Something that isn’t in there yet is the political strategy page(s) selling the concept that any campaign w/o a plan to rapidly integrate FF will get vaporized by a competitor who has one when we start telling time in terms of After Focus Fusion.

I’m going to eliminate all age references in the next edit, which I expect to have up after noon (EST) Monday. Not sure I follow what you mean by “topped and tailed”, but I will work on the lead-in, trail-out, and executive summary. Everybody’s told all the time how busy they are. In the 80’s we were told how stressed-out we were, lol. Still, I made a formal site architecture this morning, which will give the library, as it grows, a consistent and intuitive nature. I want the user to think, but definitely not about site navigation.

I love tables and graphs! Not only are they decorative, they can save a lot of words. Almost forgot, the header’s graphic has changed since you looked. Should look a lot more professional now, and even more when I get rid of the yellow strings in the margins.

Thanx again for the input.
