Seems my transfer from one web hosting provider to another went off without a hitch. Yay! And Linda's nice comment (thanks!) already ended up at the new one instead of the old. I thought I'd have some headaches with at least one more comment that I'd have to transfer today. But anyway... Nice link, Ben!

It came from a place of love. Who can fault you for that? If anyone cannot see that and chooses to misinterpret it, I don't think it's your responsibility to set them straight. You have nothing to second-guess yourself about. I see absolutely nothing mean-spirited whatsoever. First of all, the remark came from a son’s protective heart for his ailing mother.
