Hi,

As one of those "occassionals from Europe," I want to say if we don't
contribute very much it should not mean that we are not reading and
benefitting from you guys. The list is great, I find it almost
open-minded and certainly stimulatingly informative. The recent Shawgi
Tell episode and the earlier one regarding someone on the right are the
real democratic tests that we all have to go through. To be tolerant
toward the very intolerants is the ultimate test of tolerance.

We are with you all the way!
