koan-
You think it is a moot point to explain why one believes what they do?

in most cases i would answer NO... but when it's obvious, overstated, redundant
and re-explained to those who are already aware of your motives for your beliefs
(as in THIS case)... my answer is YES. especially when they hold the SAME beliefs
you do. that actually shows signs of forgetfulness or inattention to whom you're talking
rather than thoroughness, or helpfulness towards another's clear understanding.

i'm not disrespecting age related mental decline. i'll be one of the first to raise
my hand when asked if my mind and my memory is less sharp than it was ten
years ago or even one year ago. if you see signs of this in my posts, please
ask for clarification - we're all aging here - perfect communication is more
difficult as we age and i'm always happy to try to improve mine.

i'm not lecturing you on what to post... nor am i debating you on what you believe.
i'm merely asking for clarification in order to understand you better. from my honest
perspective, i'm looking for ways that you and i can work together toward our common
goals. we have many. from most of your replies to me it seems you see me as an enemy
with a hidden agenda when i question you. i almost always feel you are seeking an apology
from me for questioning you. am i wrong about that feeling? i sincerely hope so.

i apologize... again... but i'll always have questions.
here's a simple one that most concerns me NOW...

do you forgive me?
