OneJohn410 -> conversation and the fine art of interruption (7/25/2008 6:39:29 PM)

Hey most knowledgeable and gracious Ladies,
I'd suspect that everyone wants to know people who are right, yet are also willing to admit they had never considered thus and so about something, and that the responding listener has a very good point. I'm also sure everyone knows someone who gets on that soapbox and must really just enjoy the sound of their own voice, hmm?? I do. So here's the questions.
The situation: You are listening to someone continue on and on about something, and believe you have a relevant point to bring up... yet Mr. or Ms. Speaker has just gotten warmed up and only approached home plate for the first pitch, as it were.
How do you remember enough of your point while waiting for a pause to give the time out already! signal to share your point?
What is a great way to sense when that time out already! signal should be given?
I'm of the opinion that there are too, too many one-sided conversations between Ms. Opinionated and Mr. Overbearing, for lack of better names, and that there's some common courtesy that could help these two get along better.
You can answer in the position of you interrupting Mr. Overbearing, or of how you appreciate he interrupt you (giving yourself whatever name you want[:)]), or even from both positions.
I will treasure your advice forever and ever.... that's if it is good, well at least as long as I can remember it.
As always, thanks for being so wonderful and cooperative in this, and know you are very possibly (most likely) making the world a better place by being in it.
OneJohn410
