As a heavy lurker but rare poster, I just wanted to stop in and thank all involved in this great site. From Charles, for providing the forum and great jumping off points, to the many level headed posters, this place is safe haven of sanity in an internet filled with hatred and lunacy. My past twelve months have been filled with personal heartache, disappointment, and misfortune but this place has been a rare bright spot in many of my days. As a political junkie with far too much time on my hands, it has been such a pleasure to lurk here and become so much better informed on politics and a myriad of other subjects.

Here’s hoping you all enjoyed (and are still enjoying) this Thanksgiving Day.
