it appears to me that some people may not see the fundamental value in
sharing knowledge,
which is the whole purpose anyway here.
it's like hearing 'you missed a GREAT party last night."
Doesn't do a person a bit of good ..same with 'I got my van fixed' ..
Happy for you and how does that help people , which is the purpose of

perhaps he's posted by now and I haven't seen it yet.
I'm glad to see people asking what solved his issue.
since it's friday,
How do people easily cope with incomplete information rather frequently ?
Just don't let it bother ya is the best I have.
Kinda sad.
The devices are changing how people's brains work even.
Big article in Newsweek recently ...think I'll study it some more.
The 'devices' are both bring people closer and making them further apart.
what fun !
