In any case, I'd like to stop and say "Thank you" because some
  of the things you said challenged me to dig a little deeper than
  usual and resulted me in producing writings that I've now saved
  for future use.

  I relish a challenge and apologize if I was repeating something
  already in the discussion or arguing when I should've been
  agreeing. I enjoy any chance to write, and I enjoy someone who
  is frustrating/frustrated. We're *probably* not so far off each
  other in beliefs, which is what makes the differences only
  _seem_ pronounced.
