This may be the first time since I've built that app that I've interacted with someone who may understand the level of fear and anxiety I've felt when thinking about releasing it. Many people have told me, "Oh, don't worry, just release it!"

I feel grateful that you've not only built the tool and put it out there, but that you took the time to share with me a little of your story and that it sounds like you have also felt the weight of such a decision. I'm sure other people feel it as well, I just rarely, if ever, have heard someone articulate the saving a life vs taking a life aspects of such technology.

Thank you.

Good luck, Jim.

You sound like a decent chap. I like “martial art for an open heart.”

We can use as much of that as possible, in today’s world.

Thank you, Chris :-)

I know I still need it and imagine there is always at least one other person who may as well :-D

You sound like decent chap as well. I have a lot of friends who have benefited strongly from the 12-step process. I also imagine I might have other friends in some of those nations you mentioned who benefit from the care you put into protecting their privacy.

Good luck to you as well!
