I guess I knew that you knew how the board worked... I was addressing your assessment that wanting further conversation and input was "selfish." We're here to read each other's stuff and comment. I winced a bit when I read "selfish," especially when I read "slightly selfish" as though you were trying to minimize your need and desire for contact and comments. I see myself in that... sometimes I try to make myself really really small and just get by on crumbs (not here-- LOL-- but at home). I mean, think of it, one of the most critical things you can say about someone (especially a child) is that "he just wants attention" like it's some kind of crime to want people to look at you, listen to you, and respond to you.
