"Are you trying to imply that Mach1 and/or J3B have/had ill intent?"
No not at all. I only know Mach1 from this post here. I have known J3B just from posting to other people. From what I can tell they both are stand up people and good leaders.

DB.com has rules about sharing private information. The rules are there to protect the people posting here. Again DB.com is a very public forum. You do not have to be a member to read only to post. This means that any search engine (Google/Yahoo) can crawl the post here and it becomes search able. Again.. search your user name in Google. There have been a few occasions where people have posted too personal information and a lot of drama has ensued. With that being said DB.com is not the only place that people talk. There are places that are private and allow more "communication". I cannot help you find them. But I can say that they have been talked about "here" (DB.com). I will also say that if you seek to get closer to the people that talk to you "here" please be safe about it.. be smart about it. I know of a few people here that have met and then married. I know of a few people that have met and been utterly disappointed. Does that clear things up?

Very much so. Thanks. I didn't mean to sound like I was trying to pick a fight w/ you, Forrest. You seem to me to be a stand up person yourself, and you do bring up valid points with which I agree. It's just that I have seen so many readers/posters get "the wrong end of the stick" from misinterpreting something said in someone's post, which then builds assumptions based on misunderstandings on their part, which then blows up into a....tangled mess. Both Mach1 and J3B are highly respected DBers that have helped many folks with their sitches, and I just wanted to make sure it all stayed "real", and that we didn't have a bunch of people swoop in on the thread to defend them from allegations of being abductors, gun runners, green stamp thieves, etc, etc, etc, when nobody really said anything about that at all!

"May sound silly, but I've seen it happen on other threads with different posters and it's not pretty!"
I have likely been one of those defending or attacking depending on whose post it was on. I was told along time ago to talk at the poster and not the other people. Maybe I take it too far sometimes? I have been accused of "Crazy Talk" before. I knew that Mach1 would get it.
"BTW Coaching call today...Laurie thinks H is in more of an identity/MLC than WAH. GREAT!"
I will give you this comment. MLC/Identity Crisis and the WAS share alot of the same "symptoms". The difference is usually the MLC/IC person will have more specific issues with themselves and attempt to "recreate" themselves. MLC/IC is also usually tied to age. Although some research has pointed out that people are experiencing MLC/IC are getting younger. In the end the advice to "win" will be the same. There is no reason to "define" what the issue may or may not be. Simply because it is the OP's issue to deal with. I may take some heat over that statement.. but.. there it is.
