FIRE, your sentiment is absolutely correct. However, those of us who have been here for a long time tire of continual setting of expectations that are then not met. Everything will be fine, you are absolutely right, but don't tell me yesterday that something is going to happen today if you are not sure it is going to happen. you may not have control over whether it happens or not, but you do have control over what you tell people. That's the distinction in my opinion.
As you note though, there should be nothing but brighter days ahead.
