Mark - I agree with Shar, that was really well thought out. I really don't feel like a parent here, though. Not even a voice of reason. If it looks like that, it is probably my wife shining through. More and more I get her (have to get her?) to read my posts before posting. Many times she says, "You can't say that!" or "That person is just suffering, don't take it personal." She is a very incredible lady, but I think that I am driving her crazy with my knowledge quest.
You are right that the dynamics of a place like this are incredible. I have been online for only 9 months, but what a 9 months! I think my values have change, my knowledge base has soared, and I have met some really wonderful people. Recently, after the roller coaster ride we have been on, I began to think that I may need some extensive counseling (deprogramming?; centering?). But then I step back, take a look, and really have to laugh (or cry?). Man, this is a sandbox for grown-ups (but what a sandbox!). I have learned more here since finding this place in February (both medical and personal) than I have in my 16 years as a pharmacist.

Thanks for listening - Cam
