Great thread, Art. I have expressed many of these feelings in thank you threads to Max. The Cat is a community in every sense - but more so. While there are certainly strong expressions of emotion, no one is out-right rude to another Catter. (Please don't tell me we all have to be connected electronically to realize Rodney King's request to just get along!)

For whatever reason, I come back every day to see what's up - - and will continue to do so. BTW, has anyone heard from Peter (San Diego, I think). I always found his contibutions to be both thoughtful and very funny.
