That's a wonderful, measured response, Kevin. I wouldn't have expected anything less. I think the most challenging thing about Mudcat, and our daily existence is to live what we profess to believe. The living often falls far short of the belief. Sometimes we are challenged to "walk the walk." There's a very familiar phrase I hear in black churches. They talk about people who "talk the talk," but don't "walk the walk."

Here in cyberspace, it can be very difficult to know each other, when there are so many missing pieces in each other's lives. None of us know what each other may have gone through in our lives, or how much we're going through when we log on. And I am no different than anyone else. I get offended and hurt, and fed up. And want to chuck this whole place into the dumpster at times. But that's MY problem... not Mudcat's. It's good for me to know that, and it makes me examine the way that I handle things. Sometimes, when all else fails, it's best to walk the walk, and practice what we preach.

Occasionally, we get it right.

You're a fine man, Kevin and a real blessing here in Mudcat.
