- I'm certainly glad you did this. I was prompted by it to
- think about my own father, who's been dead for nearly 30
- years, and my mother, who died this past summer, and how
- greatly they contrast one with another in *my own* mind wrt
- my being gay.

- [lots of stuff about his mother and father]

- Just wanted to say I really appreciate a message like this. I learn
- more from it than from any hundred messages of people sniping at each
- other, and it is the reason I wade through the other hundred
- messages...
