Thanks for clarifying this. Though not by intent or design I do think there is a group threrapeutic dynamic that operates here. And, no, I don't think of you as a therapist, rather someone who fosters a safe, supportive, informative and, yes, therapeutic environment.

Being careful not to overly idealize you, I have appreciated how available you have been to my questions lately.
