Anyway, since today is "Rememberance Day" let us remember the good times on the Lug before it became a personal sounding board.

Where something is said, possibly taken the wrong way and in a moment can be corrected by live words. So lets put aside the "what was said - how it was taken - how it was responded to" touchyness and defensive word process for a moment, remembering we are all "not perfect human beings." And on occaision we are not great wordsmiths. What we write doesn't always come off in how we would mean using live words! ted
