Alex,
I've had questions about mind mapping too, and you've answered them all! What you said was EXACTLY what I had been looking for. In fact, I even posted a board on mind mapping, and I've learned from that too. I'm in high school right now, and I like the idea that you should never redo your mind maps. I have yet to read Buzan's Mind Map Book, but I'm going to soon.
Once again, thanks a lot!
