It's a pleasant, and somewhat rare occurrence here, especially
when passions are running high, to receive such a reasonable, non-contentious response.
I actually avoided DU last night, because I saw I received responses to my posts, and just wasn't up for any kind
argument, so thanks again for defying my expectations.

So do what you need to do this weekend -- I look forward to our future conversations.
