McGowdog, what's up?
I don't want to derail your thread, because I appreciate you posting it. From your posts, I think you practice my kind of AA; follow directions, from the book. I'm guessing you'd fit in well with my home group. But I gotta tell you, comments like this put me off a bit.

I don't know how you intended it, and I'm not so into myself that I think it's about me in any way, but I fail to see the point. The implication is, that other posts have been smarmy and judgemental. And I just don't read that tone in the other responses.
You got a bug up your *ss or what? Because when (not if) I get a bug up my *ss, I trust that my real friends in the program are going to ask me about it. And I hope you'll forgive me if I'm way off base with this.
