I do hope you stay with this site, by the way. Your posts are interesting, and you strike me as a genuinely caring, compassionate person.

I completely agree. I wish someone would say the same about me, as I think it's the highest praise one can offer another. I'm too proud :(

Thank you so much for the positive reply. You mentioned it is an autistic trait? I can relate totoally to depth of understanding over decades rather then breadth of experience in weeks.

I am not a quick thinker, but I am an incredibly deep thinker. I will keep churning through the same subject matter again and again and again and each time put a different angle into the subject, so I get a type of three dimentional effect from a two dimentional subject... If that makes sense?

I do plan on staying on this site, so don't worry. As long as I have internet and have time etc... And that I don't end up upsetting too many people (I apologise if I already have)... Yes. I will stay, if that's ok? :)
