JGeoff - You say you never really hear me...what does that mean? What about all my little clever comments and assessments of situations following examples I give? Surely those are me talking. You see, JGeoff, I have to quote examples and facts, if I didn't do that all my articles would be full of simple rhetoric and conjecture, as are many of the liberal articles I see so often in not only the Daily 49er but everywhere! I know what you are saying but I have to disagree; furthermore, as we both acknowledge, I am limited as far as space is concerned, so that definitely plays a part in not being able to say everything I'd like to.
Either way, I value all praise/criticism, and I look forward to your suggestions in the future!
