Good interview… fascinating subject. Maybe “forgiveness” is not all it’s cracked up to be – more like anesthetic than cure. (?)
It’s certainly not THE cure for everyone. As with so many things, we need to know what we’re looking for before we can find it, and we’re all looking for something a bit different.
Best,
Matt
You mentioned a friend had luck with ebay refurbishers. Any specific sellers you could recommend? Thanks
