wtxpa, my view is that downsideup is posting as he does ultimately from a sense of embarassment, meaning that certain 'things' didn't work out right for him at Silver Falcon, and rather than manning up about it and moving on, he remains, and finds an outlet in posting his quite lengthy but curious posts. Hopefully he'll find a way to let this thing go, and move on to something that he can find fulfilling in some way. he really is a very intelligent and well meaning man, and again i hope he can find a way to put that to use somewhere (else).
that's about all that can be said here without getting more specific.
