  Well, my friend, I remain optimistic there will be more long winded climate threads in our mutual future. I too should take this opportunity to thank you for your example of gentlemanly interactions and for all I've learned from you over so many years and hundreds(thousands?)of postings. I suppose someday the Post will pave over our playground completely but I hope this continues for a while at least. After all, I have so many opinions yet unexpressed and so many anonymous adversaries with whom to engage in "Civil Conversation ".
