    Signing off

    I agree with player00's sentiments, but I want to respond to the smarmy editorial comment introducing this video clip: "is that *his* signature?". When Olbermann first used Murrow's signoff, he paid homage to the originator and humbly admitted that he might fall short of that standard. But to me, he has clearly demonstrated his worthiness to carry on that man's tradition, and deserves the implied mantle. -- Rob
