Well said, Tony. I have no problem with the occasional off-topic discussion. This place would be pretty dead, as you say, if we had to wait for earth changes to say something.

But if you'll read my post below, I think the interests of the board may be better served by less religious proselytizing and highly-charged political discourse.

I do believe a happy medium can be found before the next geologic era if we all give it a fair try and attempt to meet one another half way. The problem has become a matter of degree.

All best,
Cathryn
