Thank you for reposting your "Really" comment.  It was posted >6mo prior to my starting to follow ET.  Knowledge of your gender does affect, to some extent, how I interpret posts.  You often are, as you say, cryptic, which has connotations of hidden and secret.  I try to take people as I find them.  You have brought a lot of information and links to the site at various times and I have profited from some.  Whatever you are comfortable with is fine with me, but less cryptic would be preferable to me, and I am glad to have another self identified female on the site.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
