Kermit,
Thanks for your kind words.
I appreciate the grounding
you have provided.  It is 
valuable at times to abandon
rhetoric and speak the direct
truth.  People have an innate
resonance to this kind of truth,
I believe.  At least, my friends
are in that "class", if you will.
They have class too, for sure.
