A suggestion that may resolve my inability to respond

Many of you will know I have been having problems responding to those who have posted to this blog. This is not due to any "anti-me" campaign, purely the result of a clapped out PC, a clapped out ISP, and software purchased that my ISP that somehow changes Proxy settings even as I work.

Today, I did manage some success. After waiting nearly 20 minutes for the response box to open, I was able to type a response. I clicked "publish" - and the PC shut down!

Many of you have left very encouraging, kind and touching comments that deserve a response - and I apologise that after the time and trouble taken to post here, your efforts may appear to go unacknowledged.

I am extremely grateful to those who post regularly - I almost feel now as though I know you.

I do have a suggestion that may help. I don't have problems sending emails. If you wish to email copies of your responses to me, I will always answer. I have received hundreds of emails on this issue, but I believe I have now replied to everyone who had mailed me prior to yesterday evening.

You can use mikehitchen@mhitchenconsult.com or newperspectives@iprimus.com.au However, I don't open any attachments.

Any mail relating to this issue is automatically sent to a special folder, so I shouldn't miss your comments!

Again, many thanks for your tremendous support.
