- Though I don't want to be presumptuous and invite all manner of
- angst and "anti-angst", why don't you tell us what your philosophy of
- personal problem-solving is? If I read you right, you're more in favour
- of a direct confrontation with insecurity and angst, as opposed to the
- introspection that's the norm around here. Speaking as someone who's
- somewhere in the middle, I agree that this newsgroup can get a little bit
- too insular, and while Hermes isn't exactly the antidote, people like you
- might be.
