...did a damn fine job of it, too! Thank you! It is clear, as dawnd said, that there is a need for this topic to be raised. In my experiences with poly, I've been in it when it was really good, as well as when it's been really bad for me, and it seems that the pos and neg aspects of it still balance out, but that the extremes of them are farther apart on the spectrum, if that makes sense.
