David -
Speaking as an absolutely unrepentant dragon (I'm NOT sorry for the sarcasm) 
- I've found that the word "deeper", when used with respect to personal 
thought processes, is the refuge of those who believe without reason that 
their thought processes are superior to that of others
:-))

What some people don't seem to realize is that no matter how many layers you 
peel off the onion - it's still an onion.  "Deep" isn't a proper adjective 
to apply to real "thinking" - "incisive" might be more to the point.  More 
like a sword stroke than a strip tease.

Personal definitions - "serious" means someone is - or will soon be - 
bleeding (either literally or figuratively).  "Seriously" - in email at 
least - means "what went before this should have been read as humor - so 
laugh (or at least chuckle) and we can get down to business".

YMMV

Walk softly,
Jim
