my intention was never to upset you or cause you any stress. I am not trying to buy you or manipulate you in any way. if that was the case, I would not have taken the care to remain anonymous.

I know... it's flattering that there's someone out there worrying enough to even talk about something like this, whether it ever became reality or not.

I guess I'm just not used to that either, and thereby I've no idea how to react in a way that accurately reflects how I'd feel about it. Does that even make sense?

Have at it.
