well

without getting into a personality contest I will say that I have learned an immense amount about a subject that I did not even realize there was so much to know!

It will forever stand tall in downs history I imagine as the most complex <img src=smile.gif ALT="

I nominate it [whatever else may follow ] for the the post of the month award [for content not style<img src=smile.gif ALT="

Michael it is quite understandable to feel you may have blown a fuse [I feel somewhat that way from trying to follow the discussion at all - w/ all 'kinslaying aside' !!!
may I humbly put forth taking a few thousand breaths over the next day or 2 and then maybe revisit it or not [that is what I plan on doing !].
Of course we will all be wathching this post as long as it is on the front page of the books and no one will think less of you if you return after a bit.

I for one am very appreciative of the serious study and memory [human] it takes to even keep 1/2 of this material located in the books by memory or semi-easy reference.

Of course 1/2 the board may well be scared silly of any longterm canon issue debates [and well they should<img src=smile.gif ALT="

A truly worthy use of the Poll function.
