Wow. That was more coherent than my reaction when I hit 'refresh' on the boards this morning. Then I just stared at the number in the replies column, mouth agape, for a few seconds.

I'll respond in more detail later, but did want to say thank you.

Michael - Becky Bain's excellent In a Dark Time deals with that in an S5-6 time period [as in post series]. I tear up every time I read it [I cry every time I read her Ad Astra Per Aspera ]. My goal is *not* to rewrite IaDT because she did that much better than I could ever hope to.
