Aaron:
Thank you for this. It is no easier to recall (meaning take back) a
hasty comment in this medium than any other. I have learned a lot here,
and I appreciate it. The other thing that is very difficult to express
in print is the feelings that are in the words. Hopefully I will be
able to think a lot more before writing in the future.
Again, thank you.
Eunice
