Why make such a great post and then declare it your likely last one? Inquiring minds want to know.
Why would this be your last post? It’s a wonderful post and done perfectly (as far as I can see) and is worthy of keeping and being passed around in email to those who don’t read FreeRepublic.
Thanks for posting.

You did great. Wonderful post. Thank you.
Thank you Nea Wood!
