It is your right, then, to deny me the great "pleasure" that I
must be getting from posting to this group? From your position as
absolute judge of right and wrong, selfish and unselfish, you see this
as an appropriate reaction? Did I miss a smiley somewhere?
As to whether or not my postings annoy others, I can only defend
myself (as you and csmith seem to have called on me to do) but saying
that my posts are meant on the whole to be thought provoking, not
necessarily depressing or annoying, though it is true they could be
interpreted that way.
I don't think I've done anything wrong by posting said entries,
after all, as I pointed out before, I am not forcing anyone to read
them (though they might find some benefit from such reading, from time
to time).
But enough of defending myself!
