Mark, I'm going to break the staples on my Alamo Journal, stuffing all your posts in between the pages! You are amazing. I am just thrilled at your presentation in the journal, and now have even more anticipation of your magnum opus than I did before.Ditto on my respect and appreciation for this site. It's great not having discussions evolve into large font, colored one-liners.
