Appreciate the compliment, but will decline. I'm not much of a being on a show guy (would rather write a lengthy mini book here on the chain), and said pretty much everything I had to say on this here. While Edicted and myself differ in what we are seeing here, I don't view our differences as something to duke it out about. In many ways I consider him a mentor of sorts, as I've learned so much from his perspectives and zeal to share his knowledge here. Many who write on Hive come across as the writing is a chore they must endure to get a reward. It is always refreshing to read a post that has so much personality and eagerness to share in it, especially when it is packed with useful information. I appreciate his willingness to encourage dialogue on his post that at times might be contrary to his own. As I promised, last word on his blog was his. No need for the difference of opinion to become a back and forth with regurgitated positions. At the end of the day, neither of our views will likely influence this play as it unfolds, and not worth creating undue friction over it. All was said that was needed, and now I will go back to enjoying his sharing and at times learning from it. :)
On a side note, I hope all is well with your dad. I have worried about his health, and missed his presence here on the chain for some time.
I appreciate his dialogue as well. I loved having him on the show, and we missed having you there! My debates are always very friendly and super non-confrontational. It was a good show. But I can understand why you wouldn't wanna make it a "thing". I'm sure he'll appreciate your perspective.
My dad is back and forth on the health issue, but is doing well overall. Thanks for asking! I miss his writing on here. Ineed to get him set up. Tried a week or so ago, but he's out of state, and the new hive signer can be a beast.
