thanks dg for this post. very well said. one of the things i appreciate most about this forum is the diversity, being able to "meet" and discuss with people from all over the world, hear their perspectives and learn about their cultures. it's precisely because of this incredible diversity that it's so amazing how consistently warm and friendly the ambiance here is, and i thank everyone for making the occasional extra effort to keep it that way.
it's wonderful to see so many people finding ways to strengthen the community here (including with this thread !) and i am grateful for it every day. bravo to all of you, and keep it up.
cheers !
