    I know this is the article title, but it irks me how some are reporting this as 6th ed when it's everything I've seen leading up to this has been development of 5.5. The reason it is compatible is because this is to 5th as 3.5 is to 3rd.

    I have a chronic illness for which there is no known cure, only treatments. While it is not fatal, my ability to do normal day to day activities has dwindled into almost nothing to the point where I can't be sure I could even take care of myself if it came to that. I will likely never again be able to do what I was able to even 5-10 years ago let alone longer. (In my late 40s.)

    To say that it has been a struggle to accept this is an understatement. It's such a horrible process to have your body fail you.

    I used to travel the globe for work, so I have been to dozens of countries and all 6 major continents. (I live in the US.) I still travel some for leisure, although far more likely to be around North America these days.

    It's great to experience other cultures, meeting people from other walks of life. I highly recommend visiting other places when possible.

    Same username I've been using on forums since the early days of Slashdot, but I am glad to see it wasn't taken. :)
