Dear @FancyFloss - thank you so much for responding to my post - you are entitled to your own opinion - and you are correct - i agree with most of what you said.
No one ever gets in trouble for talking too little, but people do get in trouble for talking too much.
Humility, humility, humility - humility always wins.
I know I'm a bit late on this... but 9-1-1 dispatchers get in trouble all of the time for talking too little. Not talking enough gets first-responders hurt and potentially killed in the line of duty.
