Off list, Eric Oines reminded me of something I should do today, on the
American day of giving thanks.

For all of you who participate and agree with me in this "List" activity,
Thank You.

For David Brauer who keeps the "List" going, Thank You.

But most importantly, to all the "List" members who I share this wonderful
opportunity to argue and bicker with. I THANK YOU.

You all participate, with me, in the  best part of America, the opportunity
to openly argue and discuss every thing from the mundane to the most
critical issues facing our people. You all participate in one of the few
ways where the feet of the exalted politician's "feet can be held to the
fire". Thank you for that participation.  The arguments and conflicts allow
information, that might never have gotten into some minds, to be
disseminated. The discussions allow for people of similar interests to
coalesce and join for social action. It also allows others to know what the
issue is that is really motivating another to action.

So THANK YOU to all writers and readers, and especially the arguers who
participate.

Jim Graham,
Ventura Village
