Practice what you preach, old chum!

You're cut from the same mold that some of the other mods are?

You can't sit back and be non-commital? That is, you patently take a stance and can't be biased? No, you can't. I do, however, thank you for showing your true colors. Heh, heh, the king has no clothes.

Thanks for the giggle.

Not sure what you mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not of the fungi family.

I left Phlab out in my edit, it wasn't fair to say anything derogatory about him.

And I need not say anything derogatory about you. You will display that yourself.

Now it's time for another of your thoughtful rebuttals.

Thanks! The history of our war for independence is quite remarkable. I wish more Americans knew and understood it.
A case in point: Not far from where I live is a county and town, both called Steuben. They were named for a German general, Frederich Wilhelm von Steuben, who was responsible for introducing systems of training and discipline to the American militia that enabled us to advance from being "a bunch of farmers with pitchforks" to becoming a formidable army, one that eventually won a war with the world's then greatest superpower. Baron von Steuben is mainly remembered for his instruction of our troops in the use of the bayonet.
So ..., thanks again!
