Sorry I wasn't clearer.

I'm still hanging around, just not in a way that you'll recognize (or so I hope).

I assumed he'd read this thread.

I agree. But since he doesn't want to be recognized you exclude his voice from any ensuing conversation. He posted on another site, to quote him and respond here seems a bit cold given mt2k's state.

I see mt2k's action and words as a pretty loud scream. We monks are honored in the gap. Dad's gone, Mom's nearly certifiable, Sis is loaded with mundane needs of board and bed, School didn't rise to the occasion, so our only competition was McDonald's. (This is all hearsay.)

I know I am less than the charge.
