==========You're right, and I don't. Many readers are sharing very positive 
stories and that's a good thing. I find my own experiences positive, but as 
I tried to explain in the article (and I guess, didn't quite satisfy that 
goal), you need to approach the experience for your own reasons, not myths 
that you might not be able to achieve.

==========Well, there does seem to be plenty of grouchiness to go around. I 
often wonder about these people -- are they miserable in their lives? That's 
the only explanation I can come up with. I understand an occasional "You're 
an a*shole" in the middle of a heated
discussion. It happens, even among the best of friends and passionate of 
lovers. But we're not talking about the same thing.

Thanks!
