Azeem, I agree she has been quite repetitive with this for a number of years now. She even started in on it when I spoke with her last September, but mostly to say how no one wants to hear her anymore. I've heard from another friend who has spoken a bit with her recently and she went on and on along the same subjects with him. I started thinking that this may be less about arrogance and uppityness and more about maybe a real self-esteem problem and some kind of inexplicable (to us at least) insecurity on her part. It makes me feel a little sad for her. I think she is speaking from some deep hurt that apparently she cannot transcend. Don't mean to psychoanalyze her - just my 2 cents. Kakki
