[cool][#0000ff]I understand that the first step to recovery (from some conditions) is to admit that you have a condition. Don't know what the next step is because I won't admit to anything.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have always been fond of the old espression that says something like "those who do not learn from history are due to repeat it.". I have always believed in studying what others have endured/experienced and to try to avoid making the same mistakes they did...or at least to try to avoid some of the bad outcomes. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That's kinda the whole idea behind a forum like this. If we all make our own independent studies, and then objectively report our findings and observations, we can collectively save each other a lot of time and energy in not having to duplicate what has already been done. Of course, we all reserve the right to accept or reject what another member has posted...or to go out and try to prove to ourselves that up is really up...or hot is really hot.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The only way our board will serve as a universal resource is if everybody posts reality. In other words, say what we really feel and what we really mean. There is no need to manufacture a glowing report, just to try to justify why we made a bonehead purchase on something that we now regret.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good feedback folks. Thanks for joining in.[/#0000ff]
