REFLECTOR: Global Warming

Thu Aug 17 09:53:06 CDT 2006

Richard,

Your right to evacuate is respected, but not appreciated.  I don't know
what part of the GW discussion disgusted you...probably all of it, but
your delete button works as well as mine.  Small price to pay to stay
on-topic on this forum.

The request for you to stay is strictly selfish.  I understand that you
gain a lot less from this forum then you contribute, but all endeavors
are not created equal, so hang around.  We'll all be the better for it.
