Michael,

Well put. I enjoy being part of a discussion group with such a range of
complexity. In the past a neophyte like me had no  direct access this level
of informal, scholarly discourse in the field. Yet, in spite of the
difficulty of some discussions here, members obviously feel free to ask very
basic questions and discuss practical issues.

The highly theoretical threads are enlightening and inspire me to learn
more. I love it.
