so (with a high probability) "he's gone" ... no more reading this topic ...

Hi fellow travelers,
This thread has obviously gone by the wayside but others will read it as I (a new member) have.

I wanted to mention that:
1) the responses were kind and constructive;
2) disappointed83 appeared to prove the theories of SOGR. The more he posted, the more obvious it became that the pinnacle of his success (goal he holds dear) was to be taken seriously and have a rolling controversy; he got it and most posters who were practicing SOGR were not discouraged but were rather deepened by the dialogue;
