   I was in more or less daily contact with snit during the period of his   
   acrimonious divorce. I can assure you that it was no "game" for anyone   
   involved. Helping folk in need has been my main modus operandi since my   
   younger son died and I gave up the daily grind of working for a living.   
      
   If there is anything I can do to help YOU, please do not hesitate to   
   ask. It is obvious that there are many things about snit which you do   
   not know. I'm happy to fill in details if it will put your mind at rest.
