There might be a delay in my postings and receipt of emails but.....


Michael, again, your assessment of another's well being is outrageous. For starters, you are not qualified. And if you were, the very first thing you would never do is post such musings to this list---for which you would lose your license.

You are not the arbiter of who needs professional help. (Frankly, I could use more given my penchant for acknowledging and responding to such eye-popping indignations.)

As you seem to be believe you can rip something from the past as a basis for contemporary conjecture and denunciation, the following may seem nuanced: apart from being ill-considered, I would not be surprised if what you've posted is libelous.
