Okay, don't, but then don't complain there's not interest.

Oh (and part 2), I absolutely know I'm not the only one who has written about resilience here...afew wrote a very interesting article on it...but I didn't feel it got the mileage it deserved. Its not a big deal, really, but the interests here really tend to be towards intellectual vs. emotional or intuitive type topics. Its hard to gauge interest, but if there isn't interest...that's all I'm saying. But, if you want more...

You really want us to ask you for more, don't you?

Personally, I'm interested in intellectual rather than emotional treatment of any topic.

The only interest you need to gauge is your own interest in writing.

ATinNM - you got me to laugh out (assuming it was a snark).

If, however, you think I really think that way (that I assume wisdom of some sort)...you read me totally wrong. That's just not me.

I enjoy the intelligence of the community...I learn tremendous amounts...daily. I don't have an intellectual approach to things, is all, but I am still curious and keen to learn (I was terrible at math, and not much interested in science either...until I got interested n psychology, and that's not a hard science). Anyway, my point was...from my experience, people are not interested in hearing about mental health or mental illness...generally its a conversation stopper...I don't know why, your guess is good as mine. I don't make judgements about it, but one tends not to pursue topics that stops conversation. I wasn't begging for pleas, though, even if it may have seemed like it.

I was just foolin' around, man.  Having a little fun.

Please don't take it serious.

"dare to be wonkish" would be a good tag line for ET.
