I would sorely miss you if you chose another silent interlude in this group Pat, especially because of what is mentioned above. The tone lately has been less of an honest exchange of dialogue and more of a combat zone. Historically, those of us that are here for the exchange get quiet during these times, and those here for the combat rule the day.
Why we have the need to tear each other down is a mystery and barrier to the real communication I know is possible in this group, which is unlike any other I know of on the web. I learn much from all members, but especially you Pat, and am always interested to see your name in a thread. Let them yawn while they burn my books, it may be worth it for one real connection here, and I often have many. It seems our moderators are people to who occasionally lose site of the meaning of personal attack. I say, let those of us here for dialogue continue on, irregardless of the nay sayers. Let the nay sayers say nay to each other while we touch on the real, there is room for all, (within the guidelines, of course.)
