OWNERSHIP: checking out

[IPGmail@aol.com]

I am planning to check out of the Ownership group, and just wanted to say a 
word about my reasons before disappearing.  I've mentioned before that my 
daughter has a serious chronic illness--she has been going slowly downhill 
and it has been hard on the whole family.  For a while participating in this 
group had been a way for me to escape from time to time and think about 
something else, but lately it seems the discussion gives me more aggravation 
than illumination.  Maybe I am just emotionally overwrought and more touchy 
than usual--maybe; but it also does seem to me that little useful 
conversation is going on.  In any event, my cost-benefit calculus tells me 
that it's time to leave.
