[DECtalk] I NEED ADVICE

Mon Jul 16 13:04:13 EDT 2012

This is all a big mess really. Not sure this is the place to discuss.
Klango is more suited to this sort of thing. I'm not a part of that
community, though.

Conflict, personal interest, and emotional weight are all vital and
scary realities that one must saunter through. Hope things work out
for the better.
