*g* Well, thank you for letting me talk about this. I want to, but I never get around to doing it, partly because "Alex Beecroft" is too public an entity to be able to discuss things that are quite private.

To sum up, I don't think you're selling out at all. I think you've just reached the point of going "I've heard all the arguments from both sides, and now I have decided to do with my own body what I want to do."

It sounds like liberation to me :)
