you are seeing I am encouraging everybody to keep it short (few images,
a little text, pointing out what is really new), and think of it:
if you feel you need more than that, maybe your mock-ups are not working
on an interaction design level.

why did you need so much text? Good UI solutions speak for themselves.
why do you need to explain me anything, when you know it will not end
up in the blog?

as the brainstorm moderator I have to be nice to everybody
(difficult, that)
and let the contributions speak for themselves. let the contributors
get inspired by each other.

in a brainstorm one idea triggers off the previous. No matter how wacky
an idea is, spit it out. Because either a counter-idea of the next
person will be a step in the right direction, or associating along
in the wacky direction will be the breakthrough we are looking for.
> People who contributes usually want to have a feedback.
well, this is not interaction design school. Feel good about that
you are the one that kicked off the "what do we do when no files
are open?" flow of ideas...
it is good discussing this, I will have to sharpen the 'blurb'
on the blog again after this mail. Tomorrow...
