I just got back from a party, I cannot BELIEVE how many posts this thread has gotten to!
It truly lifts the heart...I'm seeing FReepers whohave, I'm sure, in the past engaged in flame wars with each other showing their common ground like old friends, and people just patting each other on the back for the fun of it.
It HAS been a tough week...in my own life, things haven't been so great lately, and of course, there are many, many good men who will never come home.
This thread, and the outpouring of good cheer, camaradierie, and affection that has been shown here, is but one of the many reasons I like FR so much...in a way, in these times, it is one of the things which gives me the strength to go on.
I take no offense to not being on somebody's list. I take great comfort from just being here.
In fact, I hope all those formewr FReepers who have left, and who may be lurking, will drop by just to say hello.
It certainly seems that the blood was not so bad after all.
