Poppa Bear,

Thank you. I definitely appreciate that, and I respect you as well. It takes
one of some maturity to be able to end such a dialog civilly and without
needing someone to be right. :)

I am glad to be on this list. I will likely post some of my thoughts from
time to time as well. There seem to be a few people interested at least, and
I enjoy sharing.

Brandon
