Well, I 'confess' that Leonard Cohen's music - well, more accurately, his
words - and the irregular camaraderie of this newsgroup have sustained me
through a very, very dark 4 years or so. I post little, and know none of
you irl, but the community represented by the folk who inhabit aml-c (as
with 2 other special interest groups to which I subscribe) has been a true
beacon for me. These newsgroups are, for me, a lifeline to a real world
beyond the daily grimness that grinds me down. I should stress that they
are not a coward's substitute for real human contact, but more a daily
conscious sense that life is going on out there around the world and, one
day, perhaps I'll be able to be part of it again. If I can't, however, it
doesn't really matter, because the newsgroups have been a brightness in my
life. Thank you, all.

Ah, Roshi, you must have caught my ng post before I had second
thoughts and removed it.
I thought about it again and figured I was just going through another
one of my "thoughtless" rather than "thoughtful" moments.
But, I completely agree, this ng has served that part of my life too;
"knowing that life is going on out there..."
Thanks to you and everyone here who's affected me by showing up, if
only occasionally.

Amen! Dar. And Roshi, I, too, have found 'liveliness' here when it
seemed
sadly absent in the rest of my bleak reality. So I echo the gratitude
you
have both expressed... hey, y'all know who you are!
Love, Babz
