@Butrflynet,
I took some time a while back to search through threads where the both of us had posted, and indeed he had always been thoughtful and good natured – although he didn't care for my taste in music.
If there is an opportunity, please tell Andy that I say thanks for the kind words and encouragement regarding my sobriety; and also for his part in helping to shape a near stranger's mind, thousands of miles away. Best wishes,
~Paul
