Hehee... Puppy you are a man of few words aren't you? But, yet you say so much...
LOL. When I read someone's post, and I want to respond, I try to first read what others have said. When someone else says EXACTLY what I wanted to say, and does it so much more thoroughly, I usually just say "ditto" and move on.
It's not meant to lessen the gravity of the subject at hand, or the decisions you have to make. But I really do agree with that entire post. It's the only way I've seen it successfully done, and I think you'll regret it greatly if you go the softer route.
