The one person who'd still be in here fighting the good fight with you, Dragonrider, and speaking truth to misperception, is MIA till Wednesday or Thursday. My better half, Mrs. (Birdgirl) Byrd, is cooling her heels in the hospital. We put her in there last night to start her on some new medicine to slow down her heart rhythm. I'll tell her what she's missing.

Not sure how long everyone here in this discussion besides P4B and Birdie and Breukelen Advocaat have been reading this forum. It certainly stands out now compared to what it once was. Major improvement in the tone. Civil debate like this used to be unheard of here. The factthat it exists now really has smartened up the place.
Man, you think it was exhausting to READ it, imagine what it was like to WRITE it!

I'm really sorry to hear about Birdgirl. Give her my best wishes. It's probably best she wasn't reading this at the time, because I doubt it would have helped with the heart rhythm!

Thanks, and let Birdgirl know we are thinking of her.
