Rejection, rejection, rejection
Okay, it’s not that bad, but I did get a letter today from a person on the mailing list who said she wanted to be removed from the list.  Not a big deal; one person off of a 700+ list.  Still it stung a little.  It’s good because it gives me a taste of what TQ experienced throughout his entire career.  If you elicit strong reactions, it’s because you’re sending a strong message.  If I’m hitting a nerve, I must be doing something right.  Coincidentally (NOT) I gor the following from Robin Crow:

"I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a new level."
