Laurie,

Thanks very much for sharing.

I can assure you that this is not the norm on this MB, and I truly hope you'll give the rest of us a second chance. For whatever reason, I think this particular topic has hit an unusually raw nerve in one or two people, and a lot of that was already going on before you jumped in.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
