I appreciate your kind words of condolence. I've not been a member of this forum long, and I haven't posted very much yet--as a novice to DE shaving, it behooves me to read and learn, not to shoot off my mouth about matters I understand only through a mirror darkly, if you will. But I've been struck by how friendly the members of this forum are, so it didn't seem like a stretch to unload on all of you the way I did. Thanks for understanding. And thanks for providing me with a much-need distraction during a difficult time.
Thank you redux Words like "thank you" don't seem adequate, but they are the best that I can do right now. I continue to be touched by your kindness. And don't worry, Steve. I'm hanging in there. I will be making a nuisance of myself again soon enough. Thanks, everyone. John (I took my nom de raseur from the first names of 2 of my favorite composors--de Machaut and Dufay--becauae I was certain that there must already be a John on this board.)
