palo verde, Thank You for inviting me here, and ultimately rescuing me from that awful place we were previously. Thanks for restoring my faith in human nature while we were there . . .
JohnHuang2, thanks for inviting me into some great threads.
one_particular_harbour, thanks for demonstrating to me that my own personal opinions were not always as valid as I thought they are. Thanks for cutting me down to size when I needed it. Please continue to do so as you see fit.
Snow Bunny, thanks for your tireless efforts on the Canteen threads. You are truely a gem. FreeRepublic is a better place to be through your efforts.
Admin Moderator, thank you for teaching me patience by example. Those who would criticise your efforts would do well to visit other forums and note how they are "moderated".
billbears, thank you so much for your tireless efforts on the Daily Prayer thread.
4ConservativeJustices, ditto. Christians would do well to follow your example.

Peacerose, keep the Outrage threads coming. I appreciate your efforts.
To all those whom I've neglected or forgotten, I extend my apologies for doing so.
Prior to registering here, I laboured under the mistaken assumption that I would most likely be torn to shreds by other members when posting contrasting opinions. I am quite happy to say my initial impressions of this forum and it's members were dead wrong. Thanks go out to all the posters who've helped dispel them. This place is filled with some of the most intelligent people I've had the pleasure to witness.
Group hug . . .
