Blackfoot - I don't have time to go through all of your post point by point now, but I will later today or tomorrow. I just wanted to say one thing .. even if the "earth" in my personality tends to be mostly quicksilver, and I am often sorely lacking in gravitas, my intentions are not to manipulate or wave carrots or keep your attention at all costs. I would be very bad at it. I want to be useful, and if I'm not, my ego will remain unbruised and my footstep remain light if you turn your attention to others who might have more or better insight to offer. Or if you simply decide you already have all the insight you need.
