I can't be happy when one of my Santa Monica friends leaves . . . :'(This won't stop me from communicating with you by more 'conventional' means, of course . . . But I will miss your unique "voice" here, as I would anyone on this forum . . . we do appear to be Troll-free, and so far, I have witnessed no outright hostility . . . I'm really big on the "open" part of an open forum. I have found that the lack of non-verbal communication in this type of interaction can breed misunderstanding - but for me, if you disagree with my opinions or thoughts, telling me you think I'm wrong ought NEVER be taken as personal by me. Obviously, the WAY it's said (or written, I should say) might give offense. I would rather err on the side of openness and let offense, "real" or "perceived" be handled by private message. . .
In any event, K, if you are reading silently, know that those who know you from the board and LA, love you, and will miss your thoughts here . . . I will play a sad tune on my harmonica today for your absence.
