>>>Also the truth is only that which can be verified or exists in Black and White.<<< Slam me if you want, but here's my thoughts. Many people have learned alot from you the last few years, myself included and many others. Some didn't really believe that you would always, always, post the "truth" as you knew it, regardless of the personal consequences or peril. But you did and always have, to my knowledge. I know that you believed in certain stocks probably too blasted much and forgot follow your own cardinal rule---BTS or dig deeper on stocks you really liked. Sometimes people are too honest, but they always can have comfort in sleeping well at night with a clear conscience. I know that you have now rebounded financially and totally without the internet and am happy for you. God Bless, DD

There is somewhat a metaphor here... A woman was waiting at an airport one night, With several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shop, Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book, but happened to see, That the man beside her, as bold as could be, Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between, Which she tried to ignore, to avoid a scene. She read, munched cookies, and watched the clock, As the gutsy "cookie thief" diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, Thinking, "If I wasn't so nice, I'd blacken his eye!" With each cookie she took, he took one too. When only one was left, she wondered what he'd do. With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh, He took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other. She snatched it from him and thought, "Oh brother, This guy has some nerve, and he's also rude, Why, he didn't even show any gratitude!" She had never known when she has been so galled, And sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate, Refusing to look back at the "thieving ingrate." She boarded the plane and sank in her seat, Then sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise: There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes! "If mine are here," she moaned with despair, "Then the others were his and he tried to share!" Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief! Funny how the tables can turn. Welcome back. :-) Anna
