    Not at all. Apply recursion to the basic persona types and all of the types
    we 'see' pop-out. Very simple stuff.

    Facinating logic here Joe. You start with a false premise and then expand
    into ga-ga land. You must do better Joe to be able to seriously address the
    issues. Please make the effort since from my point of view all you are
    currently doing is embarrassing yourself. I personally dont mind doing that,
    the feedback is useful and overall I have nothing to lose :-)

    This was touched on in a recent email of mine. Read it.

    best,

    Chris.
