Personally, I consider you all friends. I find great joy in dropping by here every day to read through the daily discussions. Friendship is not about being nice and agreeable, it's about sharing time and ideas with people of varrying views and opinions.
Yup, I really like hanging around here, it's refreshing, and when all is said and done, a very friendly place to be.
Here's wishing you all the very best in the new year.
Cheers!
