Dear Francois

Thanks for sending this reassuring information to us.

We like the observation that boredom is nearly always essential to creativity, that a person who is bored with the way something is being done many times before will want to try something else, that boredom, like nothing else, stimulates the search for better ways to do things.

Sincerely,

DMC
