Time to move on. Wanted to thank everyone for your tolerance, patience, explanations, and conversations. Allowing a conservative on the board was a stretch for most and above the call of decency. Trust I leave you with at least reasonable thoughts that conservatives are not all neocons and neocons are an exception, not a rule. I hope I conducted myself as a gentleman, provided some modicum of intelligent debate, and you enjoyed it as much as I did. Good board, good folks, it was a hoot.

Sorry to see you go Abell.
Hope you change yer mind real soon and come on back to pester us kooky liberals.

Abell, I for one have loved having you around. I'll miss reading you!
Maybe you'll pop in now and again just to say hello and catch up? - Hope so!!

Love ya sunshine. Be well. Be happy... Stay SAFE!!

Take it easy out there, Abell.

But I'm sure you will.
Nice to have heard from you.

Good luck.

We'll miss you Abell

I know what it is... Maxanne isn't here to fight with any more.

So sorry to see you go Abell, I liked some of the things you spoke about! I hope you return soon. Stay safe!
