Well Webwraith I have this to say.

I dont converse with ghosts. If the lady / fellow wants
honest opinion and help let said person ask for it for
themselves.  They need not be afraid. Everyone on this list
has at some point made horrific messes of some or another
jobs on our paths.

We are by and large an open and trusting community here on
the PTG list and thats how things should remain,  because if
we dont then we are lost.
