Samantha, welcome, or welcome back, to the Mudcat. I'm not sure there is really a group mind...in fact, I often think that some of our members and many of our "Guests" have no mind at all. However, your opinion is welcome, and some people will be interested in an intelligent discussion on a different topic. However, there are others whose comments are intended only to annoy. Please ignore those individuals...the best way is to jump right over their postings...and enjoy discussing your perspective with those who really want to do so.
