It's interesting... I actually think the political debates have just added another dimension, I don't think they took anything away. If anything I think it has given us some insight into each other's cultures and challenged us all on personal levels.

What I did want to add though... was that when I first joined up how friendly everyone was and how generous and open this community was to me. In turn, I have hoped to pass those generous gestures down the line. When someone asks a question, when someone can't find a CD and is offered a copy and when we share our personal experiences... those are the truly precious qualities that exist here.
