Dear Bill
Thank you for your message of support. Since yesterday Dennis and I
have come to mutual respect and trust. We did this off-list. Why? We
all know how we feel when we want to have a candid talk with someone
and a third person is present. The triad changes the dynamics of the
conversation. There are interesting dynamics that go on in lists.
Someone should do a transactional analysis. Like, ""Who is this
interloper?" Or, being offended by my humor. When we spoke about "stew"
I wanted to sing a verse from the song, "Who threw the over-alls in
Mrs. Murphy's Chowder?" Maybe I am aspiring to be a stand-up comedian.
Standing in place is difficult for me. Could I be a sit-down comic; as
a Stand up comic there would probably be shouts from the audience, "Sit
down!." "Get the hook!"
It was helpful to dialogue with Dennis. I respect Dennis for his
sincerity. though we may still disagree on some issues It' good to have
a tender heart and a thick skin. Walter
