On another thread you said you hoped our early rough conversations were forgiven, or forgotten (one or the other, I forget ).

I meant to tell you this.... my only regret about any of those early conversations is that I did not pick up on the fact that English is your second language. I tend to be somewhat oblique in writing sometimes, prefering to slip in sideways ... hence easily misunderstood ... especially if you are not a native speaker.

YOUR English is soooo excellent that I had NO idea ! You must be very well educated to write so fluently in English !!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

But, here's my point:

I would prefer we have an adversarial yet honest relationship

over

a cordial but shallow or dishonest relationship

any
day
of
the
week


What I respect about you Myrta, is your honesty. Please don't ever change that about yourself.

PEPPERBAND--- <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> Those there are tears of the emotion that I felt when I read your post. Thank you so much for those words, it really means sooooooooooo much to me coming from you.

I, like you rather have an honest adversarial conversation over a hypocrite cordial one. Even if I get heated, and angry and defensive. Eventually I see and understand whats been said to me.

Yes, english is my second language. I am spanish!!

Again, thank you, and I do respect and admire you a lot!!!

MYRTA
