"Pete, I've always respected your views and appreciate the measured way in which you put them across. If a post doesn't get a response it doesn't mean it's been ignored. I read every one of your posts,which is more than I can say about a lot of people's. Sometimes, if "you've said it all," a response may be superfluous. Backwoodsman is rather good at this: he's been known to tear me to shreds over the odd issue, but when he agrees (especially about brexit) he might just post "Amen to that, Steve!" Maybe a bit more of that wouldn't come amiss..."

Amen to that, Steve. :-)
