      How rude. I have gotten so use to tuning in, that a million seemed so fait accompli and 2011.

      Guys, what a pleasure. I have absorbed a great deal from all of you. Your site and content is a case study on what is right about blogging and the internet.

      From the bottom of my cortex, I say thanks. What a wonderful job you have done.

      Brad
