Don't you go anywhere!  It's good to shake things up and the guys who
are debating you live for this debate.  They lie in wait, crouched by
their computers for a bright young thing to give them lip and you gave
them their fresh meat.  They may not realize it, but they're actually
grateful.  You revived their raison d'être, like a shot of political
Viagra.  As long as you're game and civil, they will be, too.

Frankly, I'm happy to see bright young people like you and Bryan
bravely join the fray.  You bring a necessary energy to this group it
sometimes lacks with all us grumpy geezers.  I'm happy for you to
stay.

Of course, I don't control the list.  And I don't disagree with you,
either.  At least so far...  ;-)
