Jeez, Gary, Keep in touch, OK? You didn't post for a few days and your absence caused great concern here. The wailing and moaning on the thread was making my dogs howl. As to being wrong, I think it's a very good trait to be able to accept that one miscalculated, say so, and use the experience in making future decisions. --I always have concerns about the judgement of people who seem to have too much of their self-esteem invested in being right every time. Skews their perspective, imho. Also inclines them to lie to themselves and others. --Being willing to re-consider, re-calculate, and say "I was wrong" or "I am changing my prediction" is good, imho. One of my uncles was teaching me to sail when I was a little grrl, and I ran the boat onto a sandbar. He said "Anyone that's never run aground hasn't sailed far." regards, diana
