John,

You're just fine pal..

It's been my observation that most folks don't (won't perhaps) think about these kinds of subjects and therefore are all-too-often not up to dealing with the results of them; that's all. Personally, I think it's good to get people thinking about how they should be dealt with, not their content. I figure on content that each person should be able to stand on their own two feet. *s*

Every so often it's good to have a discussion like this anyway. Kind of cleans out the pipes...

Best,

DD
