>>Hey, in 2008, can we try a little harder NOT TO BITE each other.<<

I second the motion.........we all go way back, have had harsh words with each other, but have come to a state where we understand that most of us are good people. We just disagree about some things, like a family does, but unlike a family, we are usually discussing critical events and not local events, sports, or family stuff - thus it's much easier to be offended or get angry. Let's just try to remember that we're all basically decent caring people and go from there. Tom is right on this....as I've learned he is on some other subjects over the years as well.
