Dear Kim,

thank you for re-introduce me to DeBono. I heard about him in the late 90s
at a list called "Creativity" (what I disliked, because it positied that Cr.
can be developed and learned - without a proper definition of what they are
talking about indeed. (My position was a dualism: original new ideas and the
'imnprovement-creativity', valuing the 2nd more. Original new ideas have to
come from somewhere, if you find out something like that it must have come
from YOUR existing experience and mindset.
DeBono was much appreciated on that list and I am always suspicious about
crowd-enthusiasm. I neglected a deeper search THEN.
I will look into the DeBobo oeuvre again, because I value YOUR
recommendation. Thanks.
With friendship
John Mikes
