So much I want to say (and will) about each of your EXCELLENT points! Right now I’m 15 minutes late for a personal commitment. (Good thing we run on Aloha time here.) But for the moment, let me just say that I strongly suspect that most of Andy’s fans ~are~ his fans largely because of that kindred spirit. Which, of course, means that the fans also share a kindred spirit towards each other. I certainly know that I feel that towards you, Mary Anne, and also towards Holly, and others who post here.
And the posative was just my bad spelling. I meant positive. LOL
