Thanks for the encouraging comments on my blogpost. It was obviously different from the usual stuff I post and it was going out on a limb a bit, but... I felt like it was a good thing to put out there. I wrote it a couple weeks ago for therapeutic purposes and hoped I would eventually have the courage to post it. I appreciate you saying that you "needed to read it" --that's exactly why I posted it. (Well, not especially for *you*, but, you know. :-)

As for this post of yours, I like it-- but you have some html code showing that you might need to fix.
