My screen name X-Factor has been derived from some incidental observations.

I read some of the lenses and all of them are imbued with the spirit of communalism...the notion of helping your fellow man in the community without expecting direct payment. Seth Godin grasps this concept so well in his writings...I like the way he uses the term tribes.

I'm glad I got here...only regret I wasn't here much much earlier. I imagine I've lost a lot of ground. But with this kind of help, I think I'll catch up fast enough. Thank you all of you for being here.
