Pic,

You're a one of a kind individual (apparently, you don't see our Treasury Secretary in that light!). There is a lot you say with which I take issue, starting with your first post at the ECU SH board a long time ago. But you write a great deal more on this board, and most of what you say, is interesting and informative to me. Some of it, I admit, has me shaking my head.

Additionally, even though certain of your favorite subjects are "far out" to me and possibly others, you have the conviction to state your beliefs. I've respected that about you for a long time.

Have a great trip to Nashville, hope that's more for fun than anything else!
