ANL, delighted you're back, always appreciated your acerbity and couldn't agree more about getting back to normal, recognizing that so much of the enjoyment of this board has been about the diversity of opionions.

Many of us just can't resist the occasional cheap shot, but so what as long as there isn't any malice or vindictiveness. To me, compared to other websites, what makes this board different and unique , and I certainly include the KWG one as well, is respect. At the end of the day, even after a good argument, I believe we have respect for each other.

Pete (cupcake) and RHammer - don't leave us; you're an important part of the conversations that take place here.

My Irish Catholic, guilt ridden upbringing, however, will not let me rest until I apologise for swearing, using CAPS and threatening physical abuse to many of you in a post last night.

At least no one banned me. You were probably very afraid.

Love and hisses,

Maureen
