Yes. I sometimes (ok, often) find myself across the fence from Larry, because
we have some differences of opinion at very fundemental levels. However, he
rarely blows his top, is invariably fair (if opinionated), and cannot be
remotely accused of inconsistency. I have a great deal of respect for Larry,
as well as many others around here.
Richard (M), you probably don't intend it this way, but to my mind, Susan
pegged your posts perfectly. You're coming across as jealous, regardless of
intent.
