kakki: i deeply appreciate the depth of your response to me. i have to let it percolate before i can answer, but the thought you put into your post really makes me want to read and reread.
my post may have seemed harsh, but i did start out by describing one of the things i value about you. you've given it again: the urge to reread and rethink, if needed. i hope to write more fully tomorrow... patrick
