While we respectfully appreciate your effort, or the effort of those producing the survey, we feel it would have yielded more meaningful results if you would have redefined slow. Slow for us is simply doing fewer things, and doing those things slowly. Slow promotes civility, fun, and respect. We honor unstructured time or to use our technical term, putting about.

We agree with whomever it was who said that no civilized man was ever in a hurry. We even allow for some multitasking (for women only because they are more advanced than we brutish men). You see, we don’t think about slow as being anything to do with nature, money, or gadgets.

We would consider the survey to be more meaningful if you had only tabulated information from one group and limited your questions.

You are a Scot. We respect that. We particularly respect your Scottishness if you hail from one of the Western Isles where the Spanish word mañana has a terrifying urgency to it. If that is the case, slow will be in your blood.

Thank you for your post on this most slowly pressing subject.

Slow regards,

Christopher
