Careful what you ask for, dbaldock...the potential for cat pics out of Maryland is staggering...

All in all, FB has slowed many of these old message posting boards. I myself have been as guilty as anyone. I am taking steps, effective immediately, to remedy that.
As far as political content goes, I try to be apolitical in all things. You will rarely hear me offer political opinion on any e-site. No one ever changed anyone's mind on one. I don't see the need, nor do I have the desire, to try. Political opinions are like certain anatomical parts...everybody's got one. That being said, I'll state as a moderator that as long as a person follows the board posting guidlines, their posts are safe with me.
Looking forward to getting more active here again...let me hear from you...oh, yeah, 97 days! Slainte!!
