Well, I have the same appreciation of you! Thank you very much.

The posters and threaders are wonderful here, the only site on the web I know with such activity, thought, advocacy, and dissent. There are so many I could specifically mention - my first post-lurking phase friends, you, a_Turk, Utah Girl, etc. RaceBannon out there somewhwere with a superthread of stories and links. Too many too mention. So I'll limit further kudos to a newer poster: Swarthyguy. Thanks for your threads and posts.

Thanks too to those quieter types who send me mail!

Thanks for you kind words, and I am very glad that you are no longer a lurker.

Thanks, for mentioning a turk. He is great with his outlook re what is happening over there. He confirms what my cousin who fought in Korea felt about the Turkish people. That cousin said the best allies that America had post WWII were the brave Turks.

Thank you, a turk.

Swarthyguy is becoming a favorite poster. How can you resist when one uses that sign in name?
