Thanks for the coming back to the list with these sentiments Phil.

This is a tough time. A time of pain, of loss, and a need to work it all out.
My experience is that in a time of loss, most people have a need to come to
grips with their feelings.  And talking about their feelings is one way of
coping.  Remeber this: feelings are not the same as facts.  If someone says that
they are angry about X.Y,Z that is probably the truth - they are angry.  Whether
or not they logicaly should be angry over those things.  The feelings and
emotions can still be very real.

But you are right that this is not the best place to work these things out.
Your coming here and pouring your guts outs in the original message indicates
you consider this list to be a comfortable setting among friends, the local
hangout where you can say what ever is on your mind.  So please consider the
replys to be the frank feelings of friends who disagree with some of your
presumptions - seems like we are all working through some tough emotions.

-Roger
