Hello Sir,
I do not know you personally and didnt quite read your posts. But I would certainly want to share my view with you, lot of things catch our attention and railwaysis certainly one of the common ones and thats why we are all here.
.
Having said that, its unfair to ourselves that one thing gets our attention to a point that...
more... it affects us personally more than anything else. And for good balance to prevail, keeping low or taking breaks once in a while really does good be it with iri or anything else and certainly restores perspective or give a fresh one altogether.
.
Appreciate your decision to keep low for a while, sometimes that really is all we need, balance albeit with imperfections. Good luck sir :)
