Thanks for posting lbryce. I was trying to find the time to set down to compose such a congratulatory message as yours myself. I think ya done good.

I very much appreciate your kind words. Unfortunately most posters don’t share your enthusiasm. Most of think of me as a brownnoser, but there’s not really anything I can achieve in brownnosing Jim and also have received a lot of criticism but doesn’t bother me in the least Thanks for your comments.

I want to thank you very much for your kind words and appreciate the sentiments you expressed. The fact is, despite several letters of those who expressed support,and generally positive feedback in the same thoughtful manner you did,overall, having read through each response I get the sense, it was not as universally acclaimed as I would have liked.

I tend to speak my mind as it is, saying exactly what's on my mind without compunction. The majority of commenters found enough reasons to criticize my post from various perspectives and even bothered mailing me their opinion of me being a brown-noser.The silliest reasons for criticizing me was that I was being a brown-noser, meaning it wasn't genuine and was written to curry favor with Mr. Robinson. an accusation I think is downright ridiculous, written by small-minded people who really have nothing to say unless it's to malign or insult.

Brown-nosing is an exercise in kissing as* so to speak, in order for someone to look upon you with favoritism, wanting to get some special privilege I otherwise would not be entitled to. But here at FR there absolutely nothing I could gain by brown-nosing Mr. Robinson.

I don't pay to be a member here and while I participate in the monthly money drive, that would just about sum up all you can possibly get from FR. So there is really nothing to be gained by brown-nosing Mr. Robinson.

Even more, I posted a comment by him a few posts ago that does not reflect upon him in a positive light which would kind of make accusations of brown-nosing rather a moot point.

MNevertheless, your cmoment is very much appreciated for its sincerity and sense of genuine expression on my behalf.

Thanks again very much.
