I'll tell you what I was trying to get across, my intention, croco, was to temper my claims of success, so this stood as a practical illustration and not a
brag or me sounding like the afterwards exemplar in a Silvan commercial.
Honestly, nowadays I kick my own ass - this was my own twisted, humorous way of doing so in front of fellow travelers to remind everyone that in the end, even
though I have a knack for penmanship and aim to be as helpful as possible in my comments, that everything is relative, and I still struggle daily with
comprehension of this subject, and J's and other's good advice, as well as the whole point to the exercise - comprehending myself. Like you pointed out
recently, in the end, no one can do anything for anyone else. Comparing notes and ideas on this forum is only beneficial as a tool to stimulate self
exploration.
But I think I get what your bringing to my attention in your question, and I smell a lurking predator in it too (and if we flush the **** from its cover -
it's all yours for dinner). It's compromising and confusing my own sense of discretion. Not only that...trying to set me up for and expect a verbal ass
kicking. In fact, I still feel one could be close at hand
Peace,
Toltechie
