doc 10,
i experienced a similar reaction to yours over three years ago. at that time i was a few day's past a serious heart attack. i couldn't believe the rejection that i received at that time from a FEW individuals, but through the lack of care that i was recieving from my local health service i had no choice but to 'soldier on'.
you see doc there are so many good people on cz who help others, it overwhelms the small negative approach made by a few.
as you can see cz is going through a transitional period and you've basically 'walked into the middle of it', but reading your 'post' has told me a lot about you, (i hate this expression) but 'stick to you guns', your a breath of fresh air that is needed on this website,i hope that you continue. tomi.
