Good thread. I enjoyed it immensely.

I thought that this might be a good time to introduce myself since I tend to gravitate toward the same topics. Everyone on these threads seems to balance their knowledge base/ convictions with open mindedness and civility. I find it to be both rare and refreshing.

I’m sure that I will be tempted to chime in once in awhile but only if I’m welcomed.

I’m pleased to meet all of you.

Good atmosphere and good conversation...that's the best.
