Tom,
I realize the benefit of this. Within the past few weeks I too have been
compelled to post 'my opinion' on the matter.

Instead of clicking the 'send', I click the 'trash'; because that's what it is
(the letter that is - not my opinion. :-)

I have never gone back into the trash to send it, maybe just to reread;
but I then empty the trash.

Fires grow with the addition of flames and we need to avoid conflagrations.
