    David, not all forms of communication work for all folks.

    If that video didn't fit your tastes, I encourage you to check out Hu Yoshida, the CTO of Hitachi Data Systems.

    He's a blogger, (who writes his own un-edited blog) reads blogs, reads and responds to many of his comments. http://blogs.hds.com/hu/

    In the spirit of disclosure, I'm a former employer of HDS, and a friend of Hu Yoshida's, I hope you'll find him as pleasant as I do.
