Dear O Sung Wu,

I have always enjoyed reading your posts. Please

of view has added a great deal to discussions
and has always been valued. Take care of your
health and remember you are a valued member of
the forum and one I am proud to call a friend.

Hi there BELLY & FOXY...

Thank you both for your kind sentiments. I do appreciate them very much indeed. Things are as they are, and we all have to hang up our boots one day, and my day's fast approaching. Thanks again, and I'll contribute if I think my opinion, is worthy enough. Bye for now.

Foxy very true but while we have toxic people we have in the past had a different type worth noting
Lets remember one under God, no way toxic but challenging for sure
His telling us of his dumpster diving existence was only one thing he said some found confronting
He, maybe we all do, needed an out let, this was it
Age can bring some to be quite one tracked and we see that too
Some of us I hope me, and know you do, refuse to let health or age stop thinking deeply about subjects
A close friend by his increasing anger showed us [after the event] he was in the early stages of dementia, so maybe for some miss placed anger is out of their control

You stick around o sung wu, & that's an order.

We need the considered common sense approach to life you bring with your every post.

Just because some bloke with letters after his name told you that you are becoming a dill doesn't mean it's true. Keep up the good work old mate, we need you.

Hi there, HASBEEN...

Mate it's *you* and others like; TTBN, RUNNER & INDIVIDUAL, together with a few others, who's particular epithets I just can't remember, who present a pragmatic, logical approach, to our specific issues. It's you people HASBEEN, who're the true custodians of our future.

Though we're failing dismally, I'm afraid, as this new generation of academics has become more cockeyed with their views, like telling school children to strike and to demonstrate about climate change and other issues. Instead of encouraging them towards good scholarship, while at school, TAFE or University.

First, they need a proper education; in order, they may correctly analyze a problem in a more professional, dispassionate way, instead of allowing themselves to be brainwashed by extremists, and following them, uninformed and against their instincts, blindly into oblivion.

o sung wu,

Good on ya mate. You'll do me.
