Howdy, all! I haven't been active here in quite awhile, but I just got a reminder.

Most of us humans spend some time contemplating the big questions. Some of us feel we have found answers; some do not. It is an individual quest, and no explaining on my part will convince you that my answers work for your questions. What remains is the question of whether we can respect each...

Howdy. I haven't been around in awhile, but I expect to be busy here soon. I have to make the jump from Win7 to 10 or 11, and I'm sure I'll have many questions.
