Oh goodie!    That just about sums up the query I've received from someone
who was loath to post to the list.  A Lister left the trail.   Was she a
quitter
or was she just finished?  She feels she was just 'done' but seems to feel
that others think she quit and that, of course translates to failure.

It seems that Thoreau has put an end to the failure concept?
