Of all the times I've read a post by someone who says that they are taking a break from, or retreating completely from reading or posting to this section of our TalkOfTheVillages forum, it has never been one of the conservative posters to my recollection. Conservative posters do check out for a while from time to time, I've noticed, but never seem to publicly announce it, or feel the need to criticize the forum or otherwise explain their departure.

Regardless, I was just recently starting to enjoy our repartee more and more lately. Anyway; later 'gator.
