Thanks, for all that credit, Pavel.  I don't believe I live up to that picture that you paint.  My only criteria is in regard to the 6 Rules that we all have agreed to.  They apply to us all.  I was kicked off this very message board once myself for a violation, so they apply to me as well.  I was extremely fortunate that Agoracom administration decided to allow me back.  I'm anything but perfect, but I will try to abide by their rules.  It is their lake and if I want to swim in it then I can't ignore my agreement to abid by those rules.  If I flaunted them and others flaunted them then the clear water here now would simply become a polluted swamp... like you see elsewhere.

As you well know, Pavel, this isn't a board only for those who are Pro LAC.  Skeptics and even those who are Con re: LAC are welcome.  The only requirement is to stay aware and faithful to the rules... otherwise this board becomes just like TOB.... and that is not going to happen.  

Glad you are here, Pavel.  I hope you feel free to express your opinion, because it has always been valued here and no one on this Hub has ever disparaged your opinions like they have been routinely disparaged on TOB.  I continue to value your input, in fact, I consider it essential.   Okiedo
