As proven elsewhere in the last few months, a forum full of people sitting around agreeing with each other will stagnate and die.
  While we have a lot of disagreement here, we also have a lot of networking in regard to information.  While some folks fight like cats and dogs supposedly do  ( I actually have both that get along famously), these same folks seem quite willing to help each other in regard to non-related problems. My case in point:  Some of my biggest detractors on a certain subject have helped me immeasureably elsewhere.
  I thank this forum and it's participants - ALL of them - for it's diversity, stimulation, and information.
  OK, icky, sloppy moment over....
