You're right, Nick. How absolutely selfish of me to not put you on

the very top of my list of people to respond to immediately. In

fact, there are a number of people on my list right after you who

feel I have done them a great injustice because I have chosen to deal

with my child's needs first and everything else second. I should

have known that everyone else deserves equal attention to my son and

I should have better managed my time to accommodate not only my son

but you and everyone else on my list. Perhaps it is time, as it was

when you first joined this list -- back when you attacked me

relentlessly for claiming that a career in the music industry did not

mean one absolutely had to do drugs -- for me to resign from this

forum. Lord knows that I would not have to be anyone's whipping boy

for allegedly having failed to respond to a post here and there or an

errant email. You are absolutely correct, Nick ... I am such a

horrible person and you should have me thrown from this list

immediately. Whatever was I thinking when I put my son's needs ahead

of everyone else's including my own?
