I think it's cute that he measures his success by yours. You must be a heck
of a guy that so many people look at you as a yardstick.

"Announce" is a charged word and is not the same as either "make a side
comment that" or "include in a discussion with someone because it seems to
the two of them that it relates to the topic".

Also, don't confuse "care" (as in, "to be emotionally invested in and
therefore concerned with, or having anxiety about") with "clarify".
Someone can have an intellectual interest in attemting to clarify a point,
without being emotionally invested in whether one or more specific poeple
will be able to, or more specifically choose to, comprehend that
clarification.

Yeah, but why waste your breath, unless we're eavesdropping on some interior
self-affirmation he learned from Tony Robbins....or an inadvertent post to
the wrong group like ++ doesn't now and again....
