Golly…I go away for a week or so and come back to see my name, and see it along side such ratified company–all my favs. Thanks for the kind words. I am not sure I deserve to be mentioned along with such a fine bunch. I generally cannot forbear a complement, but I most certainly value one out of BC.

I must say that, besides the odd toll or moonbat, there really are really very few posters I do not read and value, though I certainly agree with everyone’s lst here.

I think in the end, there is no one particular writer–LL3 has it right. However, I more would like to think of myself as a cello or a piano rather than a double base, but I get the point.

BC has a way of pulling the best out of people, I feel. The nature of this forum bring out a certain decorum, as certain honesty and a respect for ideas and language. We can thank wretchard for this–and also thank each other.

One wishes that there were more venues such as BC.
