I wasn't trying to chastise anyone. Just stating what I saw to be ....
obvious .... to me, that is. It didn't make any difference who brought
up the subject, due to past experience there's not a soul in this
group that couldn't know what was going to happen.

And yet the thread STILL lingers on .... and on .... and on.

The other shoe has dropped. No need to listen, argue, anticipate,
debate, squabble or speculate any longer. There's nothing that anyone
can say that will make anything change for the better or worse. What's
done is done. If anyone has any regrets or no regrets whatsoever, is
of no consequence. Any recriminations between those of us who remain
for how one feels about all of this, is useless. I don't know who it
was earlier,  that was saying it ... but it was something about making
an apology is something that is done more for the sake of the offender
than the one who was the recipient of the offense. If that is true
then ..... it's got to apply in this matter too. If you're comfortable
with yourself , it's the same thing and it is all that matters.
Disagreeing with someone about how they feel, defending how you feel
or trying to convince someone that they shouldn't feel a certain way,
is less than useless.
