I don't think I could have said it any better.  Yes we are all
unique.  And It's my feeling that the inter-net has and continues to
play a big part in helping us all to express our sels.

At one time or another, we've all had problems exspressing our sels to
strangers.  I know that can really hurt when that happens, but look at
it this way.

Those strangers who are not willing to take time to hear what you have
to say, probably are not worth talking to anyway.

That's what makes this list so imporant to all of us here!!  For all
those times when we have trouble making our sels unstood to the rest
of the world, we know we will always have a safe place to talk on this
list!!

Take care and be safe-Gary
