Youth-ish...as you're "gone"...it's may be wrong to address you...but in any case, I wanted to say, thanks, that you had the will & "courage"/patience to be here...it's anything but easy, I'd
figured.The posters aren't easy to distinguish, who they are, what backgrounds they have...in seeing people "live", it might be easier, "to read
people"...to avoid some - not all - ill feelings, also created by this anonymity.I am glad CB & coordinator rectified some problems in the thread...on the other hand, I still maintain, that if A.Stein came across "good" with her important topic with her students, then youth "can be warned"...other youth than the SGAs obviously ...& may be by someone different than us can be really instrumental there...on the other hand, I do have people (young people included) who listen to "my bad examples" in life/lifestyle...during TF mainly & I have the impression, they do take me serious, but I am not making it any big speech or "rally" in the internet & don't intend to do so...it remains local/personal, but I do feel: I owe it to others for the truth sake...just that...if JWH meant something bigger or else...I don't know, but I think we should all be speaking up "against our past", whether the audience is young or old & to some degree youth is more idealistice more daring & that makes young people a special "target" for people, who want to exploit their drive for their means... a lot of organisations do that.
Have a wonderful life...
