Have been expecting such . . . "platforms" to make their appearance more visibly in the midst of all the international tensions.

Ding ding ding!

We have a winner this evening for the most off-the-wall post!

Thanks for your kind support.

Is this a cash award?

I'm not sure whether to call your ignorance and inexperience blessed, unfortunate or enviably lacking.

Thousands of people would be glad to trade you their extensive experiences for your lack of experience. Alas, it is not to be. So they cope as best they can. Attitudes like yours are not overly helpful. Probably someone you know has had an experience. . . even someone you know and respect. Will they ever tell you about it? Highly unlikely. I think I know why.

I suppose it's axiomatic.

The least experience results in the most arrogance and loudest bombast.
