Dear Paul,

It is very generous and open minded of you, in my opinion, to search 
for, find, and admit to finding, something of value to yourself in 
something someone else has said, especially when the other person's 
words may have been painful at the time. If we all could do that, a 
lot of our wrangling would be found to be beside the point, at best. 

I don't take any credit for this, although you say thanks to me. The 
credit is all yours.

Best wishes, and may you be guided by our own highest ideals in your 
search for truth.
Adelasie
