I don't know that I'd ever consider NOP a chicken either, but if you ever go back and read his earliest posts, you'd see a most frustrated, man-at-the-end-of-his-rope poster.
Just because NOP wasn't 'chicken' doesn't mean he didn't have his own trials in finding his way. There were times he was very, very close to giving up. Ask him.
We all have our personal challenges to overcome, as you are well aware. So I do see a comparison of NOP and HD most valid... NOP hung with it, stayed consistent, and found what worked for him. Just as HD is doing.

NOP never had to prepare himself for this.
You wanna bet? He most certainly did. He even got a plate of food thrown at him.
NOP tends to be a man of few words these days, getting directly to the point. But I wasn't kidding when I commented to him on another thread that there was a time when he was much more liberal with his thoughts and feelings, and he's a pretty doggone good writer, too. He has moved on to other things in his life, and hence does not spend as much time here... but when the man sets to expressing himself, he can be quite loquacious.
