Don't you dare. I'm ecstatic to be hosting such
intelligent conversations such as this thread,
and I'm glad you and Diane started it. In fact,
now that I think about it, the whole of the material
posted to this forum has been of abnormally high calibre --
generally, the signal to noise ratio of internet message
forums is much much much lower. Thanks to everyone
who's ever posted here. :-)
