Here Here David. You express my feelings on the subject better then I've ever been able to word them here. I'd also like to express my admiration for how well you avoid that pitfall. An example to us all. I wish I could say I was as clever thus. I truly do. Cheers RicB ---------- I might as well say this today; I've been biting my tongue and thinking discretion is the better part of valor....'n stuff....but now I gotta say something: We get so trapped down box canyons on this list, expending massive amounts of energy on teeny, teeny minutiae that rarely, if ever, deserve the kind of energy and effort they receive. There are ways we can really help each other, and help those new to us, by talking about activities and protocols that really ARE crucial to building a successful practice; we do that some of the time, but a LOT of bandwidth is expended on what I call "debate club" matters----little hair-splitting arguments/dialogues that indicate too much time on one's hands---or something. We want to present an expert face and presence to this list, and understandably so, but let's do it with humanity, humor,common sense and compassion. Flame suit on, locked and loaded, watching the NFL playoffs with mah boy. Perfect winter day in SoCal.... David Andersen
