Duref Mudgins: Uh, Mr. Reyes? Mr. H.H. Reyes? What brings you to see me today?
H.H. Reyes: I am experiencing severe depressive symptoms because the people I associate with and try to help don't appreciate me.
Duref Mudgins: Well then, sir, you should be a shrink! Haha, a jest! Reyes? That's a Hispanic name, but you look Caucasian.
H.H. Reyes: It's an alias, the name of an old nemesis. I use it to remind myself that I define myself in opposition to him.
Duref Mudgins: Well then if it's an alias then you are paying cash today, OK?
H.H. Reyes: No problem.
Duref Mudgins: Good. So tell me a bit about yourself.
H.H. Reyes: I'm 75, a retired professional person and author, and my hobby is investing. Oh, and I love to correspond with people on the web, that's why I'm here.
Duref Mudgins: Go on.
H.H. Reyes: Everyone I meet on the web treats me unkindly. I try to teach them what I know, but nobody believes what I say. And they say the cruelest most disrespectful things to me.
Duref Mudgins: Surely you have learned by now that the web is like life, only they say things to your face, not behind your back. A double-edged sword, anonymity is. Have you ever heard the saying, "The meaning of your communication is the response you get."?
