Not saying that Steve should answer if he doesn't want to, but it's helpful to keep a broader perspective. |
Yeah, I'm starting to understand this just now. I always thought it was a universal thing that you just didn't ask that sort of thing, but I can see how it can be a practical thing without being rude or invasive...that's just how I've been raised, and it's funny because I question most things, but I never questioned that...it just always seemed to make sense to me, because I'm a very private person.
