Hey Pete, Do you feel discouraged by what I've said, from doing anything? I'm not meaning to discourage you. It's fine with me if you do whatever it is you feel you need to do. I don't have a message that is going to resolve all your difficulties, or anyone's, including mine. So if that is what you mean by a " core message, " I guess I don't have one for you. -- D.
