    Back in the 1960s I read a plaque in my doctor's office, it read, "eschew obfuscation."

    He explained that the plaque reminded him to speak plainly to his patients. I liked that.

    A good piece of irony here, "Eschew obfuscation. Espouse elucidation." (from Wiki-pedia)

    What a great saying - I must remember that.
