First and most importantly, FredL I'm glad things are going your way again and I hope they continue to improve.

I don't know why I'm so drawn to reply to this thread. I've found myself completely agreeing (physically nodding my head and talking to my monitor) with Fred in the past and I've also found myself pulling back very hard from what (to me) was a very unnecessarily abrasive comment, made by the same Fred.

I have found both of those same qualities in these new posts and yet I do truly feel that these posts have helped me to find out more about me and that makes reading them worthwhile (for me).

I guess from your message that we'll not be friends because it seems that just when I'm being drawn in and thinking that I get what you're saying, I feel that coarse grit mental sandpaper and I pull away again. I don't know why that is, but I will certainly not stop reading your posts because of it. I have gleaned information from you in the past and I hope to continue to do so in the future.

Wishing all who read this well,
JP
