Thank you for giving us such an elevating and amazing example of what we can create and we don't need producers, lights and grotesque visuals and arrogant, gross displays and sensationalism to appreciate and be awed by the talent people inherently have!

I'm taking a pass on the Olympic nonsense. I think it was you who said the powers that shouldn't be (in the Mickey Z. phrase) like to keep us triggered. Fie on them all, I say.

Funny thing is most of us will overlook or glance over typos if we have tremendous respect for the authors and/or value what they have to say; typos from incompetent or worthless (harsh?) authors only remind us of who and what they are. Never worry.
