I've decided to be a little less harsh on myself. I will always need to write - it is the consequence of always reading, always thinking, and always examining experience. :) However, I'm going back to college in the fall to learn new things, and I've cut down the number of articles I write. It is, perhaps, too stressful for me, to have to respond to inconsequential comments. Yet, in order to find those pearls, one often has to wade through the backwaters. :)

Thank you for your kind comments.
