We longs should all acknowledge that at this point in time, we simply do not know what led to the "termination" of Nader. We are a discussion board and I enjoy the wide array of opinions, but what keeps me coming back, day after day, is the resistance to those that try to sow dissension, seem to want to destroy retail sentiment for our company.

I spent the month of December in California to be with my children and grandchildren, plus visit my youngest brother who is in the final period of palliative hospice care at home. The feeling of being with my children/grandchildren is like this board in that we guard each other, we respect each other. The feeling of being with my brother is the feeling of at least three of the other four boards I had spent many hours on prior to this last trio California, they have been sick, they got worse and seem to be on a death march.

To all the mods, both the "old guard" and the "newbies", thank you for your efforts to keep us as information seeking as we are and at the same time allowing for the levity, the good natured sharing., my gratitude.
