Vern,
Given that I am dealing with a real  person and not a robot,
it would be nice to maybe receive some kind of acknowledgment
because as you may know, a little goes a long way.

It is a way of showing consideration to someone who sincerely
makes efforts to communicate, I have had an incredible amount
of "Life" happening all simultaneously and my life is incredibly
tumultuous right now.

Showing concern to those who are reaching is a result of compassion,
a state that "Robots" have not achieved yet...

Thank you for your reply,
I understand your situation.
