I'm rather overwhelmed by the response to my post. I did feel sure that I wasn't the only one that felt like this, but to have such kind things being said about me is extremley touching. Thank you.

Credit should go to Archaea, actually, for an excellent post here:

that deserves closer reading. It inspired the thinking that led to my post above.

Thanks again to all of you. This is a special group of people.
