MadridMan,

It certainly has been a long term tradition for members of this board to have heated and passionate discussions on all types of topics. I know that you must have a list of these!

However, we continue to post because for the most part we enjoy being part of MadridMan's Message Board! The part we enjoy most is the commaraderie among the members. Over time we have in many cases bonded with each other, even though if we meet on the street we may not know what we look like.

We each have values and strong beliefs that we are willing to defend. As just happened. I do not think, I was upset until my friend was maligned. And, if I have hurt thisj feelings in my response, then please accept my apology, thisj. There are bigger issues that we need to discuss. This war!

I hope you will let us continue to discuss the issues.
