Hi Zo,I agree that the hints aren't going to work
with the person plastering all over the place.
I also feel the new reader hopefully has the
intellegence to realize what is going on. I
guess I was just hoping the hints are a
worthwhile substituion for the new reader to
interpret (since I can't just SPELL out what I
really what to say, it may be uncivil).Anyways, I do hope everyone here does well,
including EVERY newbie. Clearly everyone deserves
their chance at support, including those who are a bit
zealous. Obviously there were events in such
a person's life that lead up to such behaviour that
maybe we don't fully understand. In the end we
need to support everybody's recovery.Thanks for sharing your insight and experience.
