Giving a brutal examination of one's own beliefs is the most difficult thing.

I think you have made a very wise decision. I always cherish many exchanges
we had both on these lists and in private e-mail and you are in my short
list of even handed fairminded persons with whom one can always interact no

stating this openly because I want everyone to know what my feedback is.
