Rabid:
I'm sure I speak for many as I extend my sincere thanks for all of your positive, dignified efforts to get Tom's message across. You have done an excellent job in running this joint the past few weeks, encouraging lively discussion yet, at the same time, discouraging the crapola that has been sadly evident on so many other threads. You have been absolutely steadfast. I have no doubt that you will be generous in extending your support to our new Governor-Elect and, of course, I join you in that effort.
It is critical that we all pull together at this important moment in California's history. However, let me go on record as saying that if I am ever in a foxhole, I hope I'm in it with you and the rest of the "Tombots."
"Independent - I heard there are a lot of us on this forum!"
There are indeed. Enjoy "detox," and then come on aboard, the water's fine over here. :-)
You are absolutely right about whose company I would like to keep in a foxhole. No danger of getting shot in the back.
