Thank you for the ping. It is very nice that we think of each other. I hope that you and yours are well.

The CDI story is a classic.

The first generation works hard, is driven by a dream and a spirit 24/7 to accomplish their goals.

The second generation might have a little of the dream, very little spirit, and maybe works some.

The third generation has the trust fund with no instructions from the grandfather.

The Ford Foundation, the NY Times, and many others have lost their original American spirit. They often neither care nor understand.

There are exceptions, but I believe that the above is 80 percent true. Sad.

I am in agreement with you. This to is interesting from Post #6.

I'm really curious what the active troopers had to say on the bulletin boards? And did all the "sharing" shut the generals up? Can you get any inside info? Usually strategypage is very good but this commentary was a bit too opaque for me although very interesting.

Oh, and yes, all is well on this end.
