Dear feste, It is hard to admit, but I believe you have laid bare the truth about Share--but even more powerfully (and objectively) the truth about authfriend.
I don't believe anyone has a better insight into these two women than yourself. And I envy the feeling you had in knowing you were giving us a kind of revelation--a sense of what is really going on here. The personal correspondence I had with Share entirely validates everything she is saying on FFL--and you have not even seen that correspondence. I think, though, at this time we must have mercy on poor authfriend--Imagine how she is feeling now, feste. I am going to try to reach out to her. I only hope that Share can find it in her heart to forgive her too. What shocked me, Feste, was that I recognized how you had fully you understood everything that was going on in this Share Long matter. I think it a beautiful thing when truth comes out--even though I feel some pity for authfriend--as I know you do now too. If not now, then later.
