Hi RD, Thanks for your summary. Yes I agree this has been a far different place for a few months (sigh). As for thanking Sal for calling me on my BS, I was referring to her statement about me setting myself above others. It is useful advice for me to dislike the behavior, not the person. It is a good reminder at any time. Was I doing that? Possibly - it is a good avenue of investigation.
