While often the debate here can get heated it rarely degenerates to insults and invective. And while I disagree often with what is written I respect everyone for their opinions. I sense that is mutual for most people here and that is what makes this board a must visit site on my daily web browsing. I know I don't post here often; I'm usually only an active poster during wars, elections and impeachments; but I read here very often. I've gotten tremendous insight from countless posts by the likes of Mark Eby, Larry J, Ed, Justin, Marcia, gbailke, EpG, Robert, Lindy, Frank C, alcary, DSpires, Matt Burley... Both Bowser and SDAI Tech1 have at times made me laugh with their creative writing and fume with their opinions. Rauol has been invaluable for his European perspective. Mary Anne has been an inspiration to me with her thoughtful arguments, and Tom has even changed my mind on a couple issues. And there are so many others who just happen to slip my mind at the moment so please don't feel insulted if I haven't included your names, but I acknowledge all of you for your thoughtful input which raises this board above many many others I've seen over the years.

Again, we won't always agree but I will always try to show respect to anyone who puts forth their arguments in a reasonable well thought out manner. Just remember, you have your opinions, and I have the truth. :-)
