I have been watching this thread since the first day, first post. Since I am a person who does not normally post to the thread, may I please offer some advice as a watcher?

You original posters had a wonderful relationship going that was very symbiotic. The understanding you have come up with together is amazing. I for one am grateful that I can read this thread and obtain the information that you could not find elsewhere.

So why do you feel the need to let new people in to your circle. Look at it like grade school. A group that plays together harmoniously. However, the new kid or kids come to school and start pitting one against the other and pretty soon you have a mini war with two sides.

Bringing others in to your symbiotic relationship will only serve to derail your purpose and set you back to a place that will make it hard for you to keep up with current understanding.

While it will not hurt for you to read the posts and ideas of others, for the sake of all of your hard work to this point, it may be best to keep your inner circle in tact. As many have said, you have no idea who are shills and who are giving you good info. The original group trusts each other and you should keep it that way and not allow the BS to stop your work.

Krispy, I am sorry you were picked on for your connection to the auganinsm. You are extremely empathic and truly a kind person. Don't let others get to you. For anyone to come on to this thread and start that sort of thing is a sad sight. That is proof that these sort of posts are meant to derail.

I hope you all continue to work together as you have. You are giving a lot of people an inside look at things they normally don't have access to. I am appreciative and will continue to watch again.
