Can we just lighten up here a little? We're all suffering, we are all isolated by our disease and our disabilities, some are housebound, while a lucky few of us can still go out. For some, this group is about all there is. So, if someone strays from the straight and narrow, because of being hard up for some other level of exchange, we should try to be a little more forgiving.

I'm sorry to have interrupted this pertinent email exchange. Lord knows, there are not enough topics related to TM to discuss. Jackass.
