I agree with earlier posts from Paynesgray and Neurovore--it's good to have a place to come that's thick with friends who will, as P. G. Wodehouse put it, cluster round when you have a problem, whether that's a sick pet or homework or depression or a musty book to deodorize. No, that's not directly related to Jim's books, but since Harry is someone who lives to help others, help and advice are certainly in the spirit of the oeuvre.
Also, I was on hiatus when Touchy Topics melted down, and I've missed whatever prompted this reorganization of the cat herding system, but I can hardly think of a truly unkind or offensive post that I've read myself. Maybe I was on the wrong threads, but I've always thought of this site as a home.
Cheers to Iago & Co.
