PLEASE do not put comments or questions into diaries as it pushes well thought out and well written and time consuming diaries off of the front page. It is quite aggravating when one goes to read a diary and gets a question which could be placed in a likeminded diary or an open thread. Thank you!

JBP, to help address your concern about my post, as a new member of Red State, I was unaware that whatever I write in my diary appears up front on the home page. Like everywhere else, I thought people were looking through topics to discuss, so my appologies. I see from reading your previous posts you are to me, like minded and I hope to have many thought provoking discussion in the future.
