Mark, most of your posts have more to do with personal introspection, etc. Maybe we need a separate forum for group therapy. In the meantime, politics and religion usually fare poorly on MUSIC forums and should probably be discussed in a different venue. Sorry if I didn't respond the way you wanted to your introduction of religion (and your personal views on it) into a music forum. I think that's why Nigel provided a BAR for such topics.

As far as "does anything make you happy", I thought it was you that claimed to be sufferering from burnout and depression. As far as "posting to "selected members" and "knowing how to 'word' a message"......has some pretty sinister implications; this is a public and open forum to discuss arranger music, not your personal religious philosophy. There is a reason that Nigel created THE BAR. IMO, that is where your post belongs.

BTW, my likability or lack thereof, has nothing to do with the validity of my posts. Since this is a public forum, I don't believe you have the luxury of posting to a "select few".
