Well, I'd return some sort of compliment to general_re if it weren't for the fact that he annoys the hell out of me because he knows everything about anything you talk to him about. I can't pull anything past him!

And betty, I just want to say thanks for the insights you've bumped my way. Also, I've lurked for quite some time before signing on, so I've seen you before, and I've been quite impressed by your ability to hold up under flaming and keeping threads that you're on at a civilized level, despite the determined attempts by everyone else to pull them in the opposite direction.

(Man, this thread ought to be titled "The Six Degrees of FreeRepublic". Everyone's here)

Hi inquest! Well you know it's easy to be civilized when you're dealing with people you genuinely like and respect. Which has been the case for me, 99.9% of the time.

So how would I begin to compliment? I mean, if I left anybody out, I'd just hate myself for it: There are far too many people I feel grateful to here for me to "name names" in the first place.

So, I'll just leave it this way: I compliment FreeRepublic.com for being the absolutely first-rate place to go as often as possible, for anyone who's in the least concerned about the future of our nation and our culture of liberty.
