I've read the post again, and I've read mine again. I guess I didn't make it clear:
If this was a legitimate effort to help, I thank you. It's nice to be offered alternatives.
It read to me like an attempt to sell me something. Maybe that is a cognitive issue caused by the depression, maybe I'm adding paranoia to my bag of tricks. Maybe it's the truth. I won't even hazard an opinion. If it was posted by someone with nothing more in mind than selling something, that person is picking off the vulnerable, and I am offended, rightly so.
Again, so that we're all clear:
It doesn't matter what the truth is here. If the suggestion was made by someone who genuinely wished to help, and sincerely believed that it would be helpful, you have my sincere, heartfelt thanks.
If the suggestions were made as an effort to increase profits by holding out a magic fix-all to someone in a rotten situation, then -- well, I don't use that sort of language.
I'm sorry if I can't give you what you want here. But I thank you for your efforts to get the word out for someone else who might find it more useful than I.
