wow, you are quite a mix but a good writer and easy to follow. also, quite open and informative. i like that. i think you have some enormous dollops of confirmation bias in your thinking which means i certainly think youre wrong about some things. oddly enough, you probably would be surprised at what those things are and what they are not. like you correctly pointed out - none of anyones business.
you are an interesting person and i thank you for your contribution. good luck with the snakes on these boards. they are constantly slithering behind the scenes. they are such clever monkeys, dont you know.
