Thank you, Maggie. I appreciate the kind words. One thing that often is on my mind here is that our esteemed hosts are on a pitch count, so to speak -- they have only limited space per column to say what they want to say and cover the relevant issues as they arise. Some topics may be too important to get lost in the shuffle a day or two or a week later. Thus it sometimes falls to us to fill in some of the gaps as informed observers and generate substantive (and hopefully interesting) discussion of them. My two cents' worth anyway, while acknowledging that individual mileage may vary on the topic.
