Hello, folks.
Thank you all for the kind words. I appreciate them, and am gratified some of what I have said was well received in the past.
I grew too crabby here. I let things bother me. Over "knives and knifemakers and their opinions", when I have far more important issues to deal with in my life. It was time to remove that self-induced stress. It's that simple.
I still read daily, but selectively, because I still want to learn. I can now ignore the crap. Non-participation has proven to be both beneficial and enjoyable.
Again, I thank you for the kind words. I wish you good health and happiness.
