lemme use this example. a writer has an audience, a group of readers who enjoy his work, almost completely. but the writer himself, has a particular goal in mind - the pulitzer. eventhough he knows he has this group of readers who will continue to support him in his art, he, himself has a personal goal. For ?uest it's 4.5, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with what we think he should be worried about, or how we feel he should respond to @@@@.

4.5 is the man's pulizter prize...nothing wrong with that.
