Agreed, I was told by a very smart teacher once, ( a very long time ago ) that no matter what you do in life there will always be 45% of the people for you, 45% of the people against you, and 10% that don't care one way or the other. The odds may change somewhat at any given time, but the groups will be the same.
It seems to me Jim that your odds are way above the 45% in the good column. So, keep up the great work.
