VALID
Style 1.0

+2.0 for making a suggestion convoluted enough to be nearly
incomprehensible - a sure sign of legal competance.  -1 for not
deciding once and for all how to spell councel or is it counsel?

Pesonally I'm not sure how to estimate the character of this Engels
chap. I knew from the begining of my ambitous campaign that all would
either be fore me or against me.  Engels however, tries to walk the
line. On one hand he could be exhorting the counsellors to apply
rigorous self criticism and thus improve the quality of their advice.
On the other foot it might be a method of sabotaging all further
schemes. Will I be paralysed by this kind of double speak? Only space
will tell.
