Great perspective! Learning alot by reading GW thread and trying to maintain my own wpself -control, pride, and dignity. Yes, those are the 3 words I keep reminding myself of ... The "cost" of EA to me, although the benefits were many, primarily jolting me out of a death spiral depression. Great wake-up call... Which I am thankful for, but also thankful for ability to see it wasn't more than that.
Still trying to figure out how to fix M, so thanks Lotus for that insight...
