    The very crux of your writing while appearing agreeable in the beginning, did not settle properly with me after some time. Someplace throughout the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a very short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your jumps in logic and one would do well to help fill in all those gaps. If you actually can accomplish that, I would surely end up being amazed.
