Bill, I'm not clear on what you're saying here.  If CxO's are from Saturn, and XPers are
from Jupiter, then you're saying that it's important for you to speak Saturnian, in order
to communicated with, and establish rapport with, Saturnians.  Is that right?

Isn't it also important, as a Surrogate to Saturnians, (which I'm assuming means you are
from neither Saturn nor Jupiter, but some other planet, say, Neptune) for you to speak
and understand Jupiterian in order to communicate with, and establish rapport with,
XPers?

Confused,

Kay (from Venus, of course)
