Those are two very important words. Thanks, Ron, for including them. It's an excellent addition to the global web of art and thought. As a writer those two words are key to my existence. I believe that the reader is more important than the writer. And that's what a reader is, independent confirmation. I will be pondering again. I think you must be a new part of my brain or something. The independent part that walks around in Holland and is more suave and debonair than the rest. Independent Confirmation, a novel. Too early in the morning for my physical brain to kick in, so need you to do the thinking right now. Will ponder later. Also never realized before that collaboration had any labor connotations. Must hang up onw and grok. Have a great evening over there, my friend and portable brain addendum! Independent Confirmation.

Collaboration and omnilabor have distinctly remote connotations from each other. And I now think I know what determines their difference. I think it is confirmation. When confirmation is something not good, incestuous, favoritistic-nepotistic, then it is dependent (and that was the important òther word), while when confirmation is something good, something great and re-boosting my belief and trust in groups, then it is the opposite of that. Independent confirmation. The most important two words in any language. When you start a two-word Hai, I will contribute with those. I have always had a love/hate relationship with groups.
