Maybe if the extremely personal attacks on Paul supporters and Paul weren't at the beginning of all these threads we'd be more inclined to be nicer.
I know that I have a hard time NOT reacting in kind and I'll try to do better because you are right that hurling insults and derision at one another doesn't help advance anything.
So, in the new spirit of mutual respect and understanding I'll wish you a happy new year and I hope you are able to recover quickly from your jet lag.
A happy and healthy 2008 to you as well. As long as we can be agreeable in our disagreements, all is well. :-)
Take care.
