@CortAmmon thanks for the long reply. I really appreciate your thoughts on it. I have thought about it for a couple days but still don't know how to respond.
perhaps this is more helpful to ask: do you think the articles helpful to you? Do you think it gives more insight on the questions you are wondering?
