I am very appreciative of the influence SQV is having on me. News reportage and events of the day don't impact me nearly as strongly as they used to.

The habits of calm analysis I've picked up here over the past several months are carrying over to my life away from the Internet, too. And that's a good thing.

Many thanks to those who set up and run this joint, and to the great folks who hang out here. SQV truly is a very special place.
