Thanks for the kind intentions. I post here with my sincere beliefs in a way that gives me a little internet search engine room from my professional life. I don't believe that any insistences work here. People have been respectful when I have asked that my full name not be used. The truth is that these posts are forever. Our anonymity is long gone. So we try to do a little patch work here and there, but ultimately, we who have chosen to post on boards like this are searchable and can't stop that. We can only try to be proud of what we post and let the chips fall where they may. I appreciate your post, thanks! > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > > > > Scanning over the posts this morning was a little wake-up call.
