Barry,

I am sure Liz would agree that no knee bowing is necessary. Had you not raised the issues you had in the way you did, that area of discourse might not have been explored in the way it was.

Rigorous scrutiny is the key to effective debate and I for one applaud you for your honesty, clarity of thought and your ethics, which I believe remain unbowed.

Next time it will be the other way around, and we will both, again, have a little extra wisdom under our belts, and a litle extra value to our lives.
