((((1oxbowgirl)))) please consider re-joining the thread.. there was a misunderstanding... i understand that you've researched this subject and i also understand how important you feel it is to participate..

would it be fair if you rebutted my original counterpoint to the Groothier article (if it is uncomfortable for you, perhaps another observer would volunteer to provide the rebuttal) and from then forward, we'd agree to limit personal commentary relative to the articles.. let them speak for themselves, as you mentioned, allowing positive commentary rather than adversarial?

sorry that i assumed we were in a debate... that is against the forum guidelines and i apparantly fell off track.. i cant go back and edit or delete my post and i'm not sure i'd want to... what do you think?
