...people seem to be genuinely interested in sharing information and insight!

Indeed, A-G, and most welcome....

There are a lot of brilliant people who correspond here; and my assessment of "personal brilliance" doesn't depend on whether they "agree with me" or not. My stock of information and experience is enriched by their arguments, and I hope all friends of disparate viewpoint will continue to advance their theories in good faith, here on this thread, and at FR in general.

After more than five years' involvement with this site, it is (simply) still amazing to me, how much we all can -- and do -- learn here, from each other, in this particular venue.

No wonder I treasure all your posts, betty boop!
