I didn't get the impression that GUEST disliked folks - just isn't motivated by friendship or potential friendship. Everybody is different, and I can't see getting upset because someone sees the world differently than I do.

Steve, I completely agree with "Whatever you look for, you find." Look for people to betray you, and they will. Look for evidence of nobility of spirit, and you find it. Don't look for either, and you might find a little of both. Even so, the good aspects sure mean a lot more to me than the inevitable human failings.
