Hello, Doug Ellison, if you're reading this, this post
is about you...and me...

You can get grating on some people's nerves at times.
It's maybe not your intention to be a Carl Sagan wannabe,
but that's how you came across of late and it
got my dander up...I was ready to unleash with both barrels.
I was so fed up with you I was ready to leave this website for
good, and cutting you down to size in the process of leaving...
But I thought better of it.
I consider myself growing in charitableness and endeavouring
to be gracious and longsuffering....At least I hope I am.

And I admire your love of the beauty of the cosmos, and your
delight in the wonder of new discovery [nothing wrong with those things at all].
Continue, dear boy, continue extolling those things that draw out your wonder and admiration in the vast cosmic creation.
Shall we start off anew on a better social footing, my good man?

Jacob
