Deb put that so well that I could add very little, but I might offer my
definition of a solipsist: One who grants no validity to anyone's
experiences other than their own. I have always worked hard to avoid
becoming this kind of person, especially as I age. And I might add that
Leigh started by complaining about all the "irrevalent" posts someone
else's topic had generated, and ironically his post generated even more
posts than the one under discussion.
