    As have you, in the end. I observe.
    Maybe.

    But have you considered the change of atmosphere in the backroom since I joined? We used to have a pretty vocal right wing; they used Pindar as a flying wedge (yes, we all know that's illegal since 1906, but Pindar always found a loophole ) and they had receivers like Gawain and Panzerjaeger that were so far out to the right they made the Lemur look like a Communist.

    It wudn't pretty. But we had some great fun.

    There's no denying any of that. True, all of it.

    Somehow, some way, we, as a group, have managed to drop some of the invective from our arguments. Positions, and motivations get examined in greater detail, and "winning" isn't nearly as important as actually more fully comprehending an issue.

    Hey, snappy siggy there; that Herodotus guy should could turn a phrase. :)
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
