[Sundaycommunity] quick note re your posts

[Brian Shaughnessy]

Hi, Lee

It is hard when someone who is one of the best minds and spirits in the
Community sees things so very differently from you.

And just when I thought things were going very good in many ways.

The plus side is it keeps you humble like nothing else.

BUT TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE, OR THOU CAN'T BE TRUE TO ANY MAN OR WOMAN."

So we walk the next stretch separately for now, hoping that our paths will
happily converge some time soon.  :)

       Brian
