I know what you're saying. A major problem for anybody who can see
beyond the trees is that they're always ridiculed and dismissed as mad
or obsessive or whatever. Few people appreciate their abilities and
they often have to walk through life at other peoples' pace. FWIW
this is a problem I've encountered in my own life - although not on
technology matters! I'm afraid that in this age - dorks rool!
