201--Speech
Ok, gang. Today I want a speech about catharsis. It can be an icident of your own life, or explanitory in the abstract. As always, today is for brainstorming. Delivery on Thursday.

301--Theory

How do we know if communication is successful? [she sips her coffee, looking a them. Clearly this isn't as simple a question as it seems.]

Then you still want something, either on behalf of your friend, or FROM your friend for the service you are providing, namely, passing the information.

Communication is an attempt to affect other people's behavior via information, right? So a successful communication is when you get the result you intended and expected. "I'm robbing this bank; put all the money in this sack" is a successful communication if it scares everyone into standing still and you get away with a bag full of money.

[[*pats Jack* Poor boy. Any other day and I might have been a bit more alive to argue; but I have a horrible suspicion that I might be starting an ear infection. Damn it]]
