Hi Mitch Larramore.  I had to smile just a bit, especially at your 'farewell'  message at the end of the post.  I would be surprised to find that you were misunderstood in terms of motives.   Typically,  I do not think that courage is a requisite emotion to posting opinions, but in your case,  it obviously was.   You have a good heart,  me thinks.  No fear.
