Speaking of 'unfamiliar' and pleasant supprises, over at the 'Bar', Bill has done a remarkable job of moderating a forum on what could be a very touchy subject (healthcare and it's attendant sub-topics). He has been fair-minded, even-handed, allowed (civil) dissent, kept the topic on course, expressed his own personal opinions without being blatantly left or right, and always steered the conversation back in the direction of common sense. This is the best job I've seen in moderating a sub-forum, especially on a sensitive issue. Kudos and congrats to Bill who I, for one, am seeing in a new light. He sure seems like good people to me (and that from someone, according to some, who doesn't like anybody except maybe those losers, Russ and Diki , oh, and maybe Ian.....although he IS Canadian .
