    No need to be rude! It appears you missed my point entirely. And it’s Stephen Hawking.

    The content here is fairly good but the delivery! Andy Boyd doesn’t need to sound so stilted, preachy and emphatic to get his point across. Today’s piece was extolling the virtues of natural but pointing out some of the drawbacks. It struck me that Mr. Boyd’s delivery was, and is often, painfully unnatural. Kind of ironic.
