I guess I'm not surprised by the ages, I had actually thought you my slight junior, but I'd have guessed maybe 26 or so, it's rare but not unheard of to find someone who gets global politics under 30, I might guess you were the Neatherland equivalent to a C-span junkie.

But the list, no, I think that one is fairly solid, I could name some others, but not really. Greg is one of the few remaining liberals, real liberals ala John Locke, cannoli can be abrasive but always puts forth solid arguments. Joel is a gentleman and scholar, as is Tom. Greg and Canolli are clearly scholars, but I'd hesitate to call either a gentleman, unless 'tongue like a whipcord' now qualifies. They don't just repeat the party line, and I respect that. There are others, surely, who parallel, but rarely on so many points and issues. I've no need for party rhetoric, I get emailed both regularly. No, I like posting to them and you because I don't have to spend half my time worried I might accidently offend or fail to get through the conditioning. I've probably just insulted everyone else who reads this, but it is what it is.
