Joe I know you are remarkably even handed, even to those who mock your faith.

We disagree about most things, but I trust you. Without you Mudcat would be shit pit, or even worse a highly moderated forum where any controversy was banned.

If I very occasionally complain about something I listen to what you say because I know you have no favourites and no agenda other than to see the forum continue warts and all.

I presume Steve knows better than to expect special treatment from you, but I have watched him massage the ideologies of others ....I need say no more.
