With all the yelling and schizophrenic behaviour lately I thought it might be nice to remind everyone of the good that has come from this forum.

People, I could not have formed this opinion without you, and I thank you one and all.

Oh, and a special thanks to Brian imager, nice to see a person with such positive ambition.

Er, those were ALWAYS the issues. I hope we've shaken off the TEOTWAWKI's and other extremists and can now concentrate on the boring but nasty stuff.

We are scraping along the iceberg now.
