   This is something that this community needs very much! There is so much irrational rhetoric bouncing around this community a this time. Cool heads and rational thinking are the tools that will prevail in this situation. Terry, thanks for getting this done! This is an example of “active citizenship at work!” All involved are to be commended! Bravo!!!!!!!
