Forgive me as I am proned to express our feelings so let me say I really enjoy this blog and appreciate all of everyone's commentaries and efforts to help one and all. Since I am by nature (and by profession) always looking for the next shoe to drop I propose we consider the following (and if you decide not to do it I will not slit my throat or jump in the pond). I think, I hope, this blog will remain as is. But in the event it does not I do not want to risk loosing the best blogger buddies I have ever had. So why not consider the following which will only be done as a "nuclear option" so to speak in case George's enemies get the best of him (which we all hope they do not). Why don't you think about sending me a private email with your real email on it and I will run a copy and put them in a "secret" folder. I will in turn send you my email. I promise never to share your emails without your permission except that if we need to for some reason find a new blog, I will email everyone where Chris/Klaus and others decide to go. Anyhow this is my proposition to you fellow bloggers so if you think this a good idea hit the private email button and send away. I unlike that one guy who sought out Peter promise never to dog your steps or climb your fences. susan
