Yes, amen.  Very distressing to see the two of you airing things  
here, since I respect you both, and since we've just come up for air  
after the most recent distraction on the list.  None of us here can  
ever know the 'real' story, and if we did, then we'd probably have  
different opinions and spin it every which way anyway, leading to  
more exhausting dead ends.  If a cyber kiss 'n' make up isn't  
possible, please work it out in person.  Best to you both,
