P.S.
I feel I want to massage this message just a bit: it came out pretty negative - which is unfair to everybody, especially when I have had so much good out of the whole experience. With a whole lot of help from people along the way - Adepts, included!
I am back on track. And I have just been greatly heartened by looking back at veteran Drew's posts.
His message of 20th March 2002, five years in and reporting for duty: and Wham!! - grinning from ear to ear (choked me up a bit) - says it all.
So, apologies for whining: I wouldn't want to excommunicate myself.
