Folks,
I want to take this moment to acknowledge a few things:
1- Thank you to Eric for initiating this conversation, continuing the dialogue, and making the effort to understand the opposing points of view;
2- Thank you to everyone else for respecting Eric's original point of view and engaging in conversation which ultimately, it is hoped, will lead to better and broader areas of understanding.
This type of exchange is "what the forums are all about". While we cannot be expected to agree on all points about everything, it is important to keep in mind the respect for another individual is transcendental of anything that we may place into print.
I'm proud of ya! Good job, folks!
