		<description>Martin, thanks so much for your correction and for pointing out to me the comment section. I stand corrected.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It was easy though to overlook, especially when the focus of your site is so heavily on the yes/no questions, rather than on the opportunity to add the "but" or "because".  Members are instructed to frame their questions to elicit a binary response. It's not immediately apparent that further input beyond a "yes" or "no" is possible or will be sought. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I missed it--others may as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for the comment--and for letting me and readers know that there's potential depth to the content of the answers.</description>

<p>It was easy though to overlook, especially when the focus of your site is so heavily on the yes/no questions, rather than on the opportunity to add the &#8220;but&#8221; or &#8220;because&#8221;.

For more on this topic, specifically the need for a simple "call to action", keep one eye on the &lt;a HREF="http://wisdm.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"&gt;wis.dm blog&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
