Thanks, Roger!

[Eva Elisabeth]

I totally agree on all the very true words and statements (except that I don't miss lacking Lincoln resemblance, but see a lovely likeness of two Lincoln scholars), and also say: "Thanks, Roger!"

Angela will sure agree, this forum offers a unique, wondeful opportunity of discussion and education on all Lincoln topics for us interested Non-Americans we would never get here. "Meeting" people is another miracle. I grew up and lived most time of my life without computer and internet, and not too long ago I wouldn't have believed it was possible to get to know people via this way (sometimes it still seems surreal to me). What a great experience.

I'm sure it needs a great deal of time and effort to run this, and, regarding what we all benefited, I feel sorry for this:

Even a few stressful threads are IMO too many, and go along well with neither this well-educated, adult pool of members, nor the educational purpose of this forum. And I can imagine hurting a member is equally hurtful for the host. Although sometimes minimal, we are sure all able to determine the gap between freedom of speech and opinion, and personal verbal offense. I think we all owe Roger to pay sufficient attention to word our disagreement on a topic in a way that is not hurtful to anyone.
