The 'we' are a few of the members who post messages.  There are many
more just reading who do not post messages.  There is no telling what
THEY think, unless they come out of hiding and contribute.

Some of us do perceive consciously, and some unknowingly.  You are probably
going to find at least a few of us who will belong to both groups at one
time or another.

Perhaps from time to time, your bearings.  They should return when you read
the next message or two.

>These blows, are they dangerous?

Not in the slightest.  You have seen the strongest blows and you have
survived.  Continue.

Welcome to the MCML.  Plunge right in.  There is no proscribed "truth" ...
it's just a bunch of us blabbing away about our hobbies (and a few
professionals are here, too.)
