While searching for something, if I see your name in the discussion hierarchy, I just jump to it, and save myself a bit of time!<BR/><BR/>I just stumbled upon your blog ... and read your posting of 12/28 ... and boy, was I stunned! <BR/><BR/>I obviously don't know you, but can certainly understand the level of stress one goes through in life. We are constantly juggling items (projects, relationships, responsibilities, goals, passions), and sooner or later, the load becomes overwhelming. It certainly takes a strong person to be at the brink, and come back. With this posting, you have shown your incredible strength!<BR/><BR/>It's a lesson for everyone. There is no problem, no matter how insurmountable it might seem on the surface, that can not be solved if one just gives it some time. This sounds easier said ... and yes, it's extremely hard to be a bystander while world crumbles all around us. But it's this realization that could be the difference between a minor hiccup and a catastrophe.<BR/><BR/>Good to have you back. Please post some more thoughts.

Thanks so much for being so incredibly open about your ordeal. Few people in the mainstream treat mental health as a serious issue, but you've shown just how serious it can be.<BR/><BR/>If there is anything you need that we, your adoring fans, can provide, I hope you can find the strength to let us know. All we want is for you to be healthy and happy. We like you for who you are, not what you do for us.Charles Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04606895130887441753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8279854.post-1169058941896973512007-01-17T13:35:00.000-05:002007-01-17T13:35:00.000-05:00Stan, good to see you're ok, and my best wishes to you. <BR/><BR/>Richard<BR/>DublinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8279854.post-1168891692716962762007-01-15T15:08:00.000-05:002007-01-15T15:08:00.000-05:00Was just stopping by to check on you again.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well, Stan.

I was told once that "no one is special but we are all unique". You certainly have no burden to carry with the Notes community. Your uniqueness (from here) is your ability to assist, discern, describe, solve and support. Long may you live, prosper and continue your contribution where ever and to whatever you may choose. And all the best for an uplifting 2007.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I actually often use the "AND Stan" operator in my searches :-)<BR/><BR/>P.P.S.

And that when you do post, there is an amazing number of people that listen. Be well.gregghttp://www.ns-tech.com/blog/geldred.nsfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8279854.post-1167766521911759632007-01-02T14:35:00.000-05:002007-01-02T14:35:00.000-05:00Of course you can't know everything there is about Notes, Stan--that's what the forum is for! But you have helped so many people over the years (myself included--i would have never figured out building custom built classes in LS if it weren't for you) that you don't need to worry about how we feel about you and the help you have given us over the years--we all appreciate it (as can be seen by the responses here.) <BR/><BR/>i think that because so many of us know you from the forum and don't live in Toronto, we can't do much to physically help you. But a kind word and encouragement to keep going, no matter how dark things may seem might be the thing to brighten your day. I know I am not the only one who misses your wisdom on the forum Stan.<BR/><BR/>So like everyone else, I wish you a speedy recovery and a regular return to the forums soon!

As Bill said, you can't ever know everything, but I think that your reputation as a legend is fully deserved - not so much for your actual knowledge, but for your willingness to share it with anyone who asks (nicely :o) <BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself.
