Thanks! I was naughty and took some time off from studying to try and
remember all the regular posters who've been memorable. There are a few
names I could add to the list (miss: Joe Durnavich, Steve Fry, Alan
Rogers, among others), as well as a few better forgotten (Bruce Schuck,
anyone?)
BTW I must admit to an error in omitting Barb J. I was going to put her
into her own category, but got stuck figuring out what to call it.
"A.c.jfk's Sweetheart," then "everybody's sweetie," fell by the wayside.
Calling her just plain "sweetheart"....well someone else gets to call her
that every day. But she's still a sweetie, no matter how you slice it.

I agree! How could I have omitted Jerry?? First class research from
unconventional sources and a memory like a steel trap. Sorry, Jerry!

Hard to whittle some down to one, because there really are so many
knowledgeable, well spoken, well reasoned posters here who truly take
the cake on various topics...and I am sure I missed some who deserved
mention.
Happy Holidays everyone! I expect to be quite scarce til the 2nd week
of January, but sincerely, my prayer for each and everyone here is
that
the joy of the season may touch your heart,
refresh your spirit,
settle in your soul,
and prepare you for the challenges and triumphs
of 2008.
Cany Canes!

McAdams and I share the task of reading and voting on the posts in the
inbox.
Chad Z (LN), Barb J (CT), Russ Burr (CT turned LN) have also served as
mods. James O has helped on occasion.

Best of the season and a Happy New Year to you too, Barb!
We just finished shoveling ourselves to freedom an hour ago, and
looking out the window ..... gonna have to get the shovels out again
in an hour or two!
Nice to see the kind of snowfall that used to be typical of Canadian
winters. In recent years, I've been able to wear my slippers to
retrieve the newspaper when the delivery guy missed the porch!

James K. Olmstead
days now and will have to brave the roads since we're out of kitty
litter....only about 1500 ft of rd to travel but I don't look forward to
it.
Although I was glad to see my name pop up....as I told Greg Parker I'm
about burned out on JFK research. He's putting together a Oswald timeline
for his website and the add ons I provided will be about the last JFK
material I work on for awhile. He should have it up after the first of the
year. I'm just taking a break honing my poker skills.
As to these types of polls it's good to see your name but it can be
difficult to select some of the ones that really should be pointed out.
John McAdams and I go back to around 1992 when he defended me against Lisa
P in one of the first threads I ever joined in. So I have to list John
McAdams as the number one LN. for more then one reason. The first being
his taking over this newsgroup after Robert Harris gave up and for the
continued efforts to keep it up and running with the help of those wishing
honest and open debate. Hat's off to you John.
To all who post I wish all the best and thanks for another year of
interesting threads.

I'll second that. Despite our totally polar takes on the medical
evidence and most other evidence of the assassination itself, John
deserves a lot of kudos for getting a new group going ...and keeping
it going. He deals with all the technical problems as well as the buck
stopping with him when it comes to posts getting out if no one else
can. John and I were able, years ago, to set aside our personal
differences on the evidence and develop a good working relationship
when I was a moderator, and other times when it came to some evidence
issues we worked on together.

Same to you, James. And don't be too scarce, you are needed. And be
careful in that snow. We've had snow a couple of times, then hit the
national news with our amazing wind and rain storms and the flooding.
A little freezing fog and some light rain now ... kinda nice, though I
am hoping for a white Christmas. :-)
Cheers,
Barb :-)

WC defender? That has to be one for the record, as one of the most outlandish claim
made on this newsgroup for the year.
