I enjoy reading this group, mostly for short sweet questions with short
sweet answers. I take the time to sort through all of the questions and all
of the responses in a thread because if I can't offer some advice, then
maybe I'll learn something. In this case, I feel my time is wasted by both
of you because there's nothing I can offer to this purely emotional
exchange, and nothing I can learn from what's being offered. I think the
majority of the readers probably feel the same.

Can you guys take this to a more private venue please??
