Ed, truer words than those above were never spoken. You are wise beyond
your
years. Are you not perhaps a Methuselah in the realms of knowledge and
wisdom? Many thanks Ed for gracing us with your noble presence!
Please, do not ever abandon us to ourselves no matter how much you may be
tempted, at least not before we have acquired a moderator. We would be
lost
here without you. We know we are unworthy and we beg your forgiveness for
our uncouthness and general vulgarity.
Why, if you were to leave, it would be only matter of weeks before the
group
would return to the quagmire from which you so heroically rescued it. Yea,
Tom Sherman would once more wax poetic and post messages about how
liberalism-socialism-communism was the wave of the future, despite what
happened to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Regards,
Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota

Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota
