Issam, this article makes absolute sense, and , at 82 years of age, I can vouch for the value of taking the opposite route.

You are quite right ... your 12 points of caution are spot on, and I am glad that I never heeded that sort of advice. Thank you for pointing this out for the benefit of others who may need to 'think' before decison-making.

I checked out your Home Page, and I like your writing and I have decided to follow you.

Hello … this is Fred … also writing to say thank you for reading some of my Medium stuff, and for liking what you read, and for deciding to follow ME. Thank you for ‘the follow’.
