As someone who reads eagerly but does not comment so frequently as others, I
believe that this list has consistently been the best I've been on, for the
vibrancy of spirit, the intellectual exchange, the sharing of words.
This mode typically brings about strife at various points. The holidays seem
an especially stressful time for many.
Continuing makes sense, if it can be worked out.
Holiday wishes to all, Sheila
