Which means what exactly? Stop saying two things at the same time. What is that you really think. What you said james, says nothing. Everyone already knows it is complicated, me included. Yes to what, and No to what? Be clear, because you are not so far. You are sitting on a fence.
i am not sitting on a fence, but it is a question of how much writing i want to engage in here... as it presently stands - not much.. if i knew you in person, i'd be happy to talk about it over coffee.. cheers james
