Exactly, Ciel
You succinctly touched on points I've discussed at length in the past. Truth be known, I like your short, to the point approach better. Thanks for the input -- and for dropping by.

Quite write...uh... right!
Reading good stuff is inspiring to the word-worker inside, discovering how unexpected turns of phrase can delight as well as inform; encouraging the writer to actually exercise a lively vocabulary, and leap beyond the cliche and the trite.
Reading poor stuff demonstrates what doesn't work, and so has value, too. It is also encouraging: If this tripe can get published, anything I can write can get published!
