"THANK YOU"

09 February 2008

        We would like to thank all of those that have sent emails expressing their thanks and support to us in assisting to bring this subject to light.

        We hope that this is truly the end of this matter, and that our "gracious thank you" is not erroneously misinterpreted as a sign of weakness since we have observed some pebbles lobbed in our direction.  We are thankful that this matter was resolved.  The rock throwing is over, and the original editorial has been removed.  So let's put it to rest and move forward.


"GRACIOUSNESS"

06 February 2008
AMENDED: 09 February 2008


        The list of non-binding non-supporters on a website has been graciously removed (from the "Throwing Rocks" editorial which has been removed).  Your apology accepted.  Sincerest thanks from the one, and from all those that had contacted this site regarding their names on that list; there were approx. 79 names on that non-support list, not just 1.

        The reality of the sometimes apparent fragile peace, in our very distinct and diverse community, is that peace is the desire of all.  It appears to be the accepted defacto mentality of most.  We should all continue to safeguard it.

        Although separate and under different jurisdictions, we are still bound together by one extremely important fact:
