To the group:

My mailbox has been overstuffed lately. What am I, Mr. Popular all of a
sudden? Time Cover Boy? The new lifeguard on Baywatch (the only one dressed in
baggy shirts)? While I appreciate it, I'm just not getting my work done like I
should.

Now, if I were a wealthy retiree like Glenn Morton, I could spend all day
sipping mint juleps doing up replies. But, alas, I must still toil for my
food.

So I'll say good-bye for now. I do think we've reached the limit on the
discussions thus far. I'll be lurking, of course. Gotta keep an eye on the
great states of Texas and Wisconsin.

I want to especially thank John Rylander for his closing comments:

<<Let me close by thanking you for the tone of your comments, Jim. You've =
been forceful and to the point, but never (to my mind, anyway) rude or =
abrasive. I hope I always reply in kind. Let's make sure that speaking =
the truth (as merely we see it, alas!) in love is never just a slogan. =
(Along these lines, I promise never to use a pseudo-light-hearted smiley =
face :^> after some snide or condescending comment!! :^> That really =
bugs me.) And let us all remember the parable of the Good Samaritan, =
which here could be restated as the Good Evolutionary Creationist or the =
Good Young Earth Creationist (or whatever theory [theorist....] of =
creation is under attack at the moment). :^> Thanks, Jim.>>

That was lovely, and appreciated, John.
