Thanks.

> Hello! Crises on chat! ISP provider information!Or even, gee how 'bout I handle these few specific things that currently you don't have the resources to do. And y'all work on what you do have resources to handle. Just email me with these specific requests. That certainly couldn't take that much time, could it? Of course, that would require trust in the deputies ability to decide what they need help with and what they can handle on their own. Shyeah.

> Would you care for some input as to what issues require highest priority? Because I am good at filing, you know, a soul of a secretary I always say, and can quickly sort out your What's Hot and What Not piles. Unrelated to your personal preference, you understand.You are good at that, and you know what? That would be so helpful, don't you think? Wouldn't it be nice for someone to have a "punch list", so to speak, prepared for them if they've got way too much to sift through? Of course, that would require placing trust in the preparer and giving up some degree of "control". Can't have that!!

There are, with intention, no "I" statements in this post, because it's all about you and your behavior, Dr. Bob. This behavior speaks volumes about what and who you value.

Thanks for your support, sp. It means a great deal.
