Thanks, Rick... Good words... good thoughts.
I'm always for the idea of getting more sleep, but I'm not sure anybody wants to see what I'm like on less caffeine. It gets ugly. I do appreciate the honesty around here, and there's little of the backbiting that happens in so many communities after they've matured enough to have an "inner circle" or "regs" as other communities call them. I think, honestly, that some of the sharper comments I've made lately may have been mitigated by getting more sleep... and if I've contributed to the discomfort of others by making those statements... well... I'd feel bad. It's often very hard to discern the fine line between calling a spade a spade and being unduly harsh... perhaps I crossed a line along the way. If so, my apologies to all offended. Thanks again, Rick, for the reminder that there's always *people* behind these black-on-white lines of text.
