As for Stripe, because of your legal training, I will never attempt to go toe to toe with you. My brain wasn't trained to attack and argue. I know this because I've spent my entire adult life surround professionally by attorneys. I have faced my fair share of life's adversities, I didn't get to be 46 and raise kids without having faced life and all its pleasantries and unpleasantries. Let's see, there's births, deaths, alcoholism at home and and work, aging parents, and don't forget raising teenagers and all the challenges they offer. I took what I needed and moved on. My seed experience wasn't yours and yours wasn't mine. It was 9 months out of my life when I was 15 and thus I've moved way beyond that point in time and just try to live my life and take what comes my way and deal with it as effectively as I can, for a simple human being.

It's hard to know one anon from another. As I see it, there is safety in anonymous numbers and when I reply to the wrong anon, I'm the ass.
Assuming you are the anon my reply was directed to, I thought I had made a fairly accurate list of our similarites, things we should BOTH be proud of, some common ground on which to support each other - regardless of WHAT our opinions happen to be. Apparently someone failed in this exchange: me, you, or both of us. It really doesn't matter.
Instead, it's back to what I perceive as the usual seedling set up: "my brain wasn't trained to attack and argue". Don't be so sure Anon, that was a pretty sly cut right there. It's just a job, ya know.
I am destined be a permanent resident of the "argue & attack" camp, regardless of my output, and that's okay. We can agree to disagree. You guys can continue to snooze on the bigger issues, but I gotta go do some thing real with what I have learned here. I really thought I found some common ground in which to explore bigger ideas, but apparently I was wrong, I guess, because I don't think like you. Welcome to the real world, right?
This forum existed long before I found it and it will exist and prosper long after today, bringing resolution and closure to those who want it and need it. Simply telling someone to get over it or deriding them because they are not over it is just not helpful. That's about the only statement I see from seed supporters - get over it. ok.
And with this, I too, quit. It's just not worth my time beating the dead horse formerly known as the seed. It's way too mushy and stinky anyway... :grin:
Peace out.
