While looking up the URL for the "15-year-old schoolgirls" thread, I started to just browse old threads in which I'd participated. That was a mistake, as far as getting any more work done today goes. However.

Re-reading those old posts gave me a fresh awareness of how intelligent, witty, wise, and talented the folks around here are. I laughed until my sides hurt over some peoples' remarks, and from other posts I came away with a feeling of being sated intellectually by someone's carefully-reasoned arguments. I realize we're often a pretty self-congratulatory little online community, but it won't hurt to say thank you yet again to Wolfspirit, Darien, Sam, Kiki, famous, Stephen, Faux Pas, and geez, lots and lots of other folks for making my time spent on these boards so worthwhile. I *heart* you guys!
