Gee, I wonder which part of that message was NOT a lecture, Andy ? (that's a rhetorical question) I do wish to say, lest there be a larger misunderstanding, that the gist of my original message was not "that shallow messages of encouragement are rather fatuous." I would not want the people on this board who are so encouraging and generous to think that.

I also said that I withdraw the suggestion.

Karen, your reasoning makes perfect sense. Thanks for the response.
