  How have I missed your comments after all these months? NYShooter made a comment about you and then I read the latest 18 pages of your submissions. (It's late and I am getting tired, but I will read more later.) The best parts...the Nuola O'Faolain remembrance. I heard Ms. O'Faolain a few years ago on the CBC's 'Writers and Company'. An hour long radio interview. I was driving from Prince Edward County to Toronto on a summer Sunday afternoon. God she made me laugh and cry during that hour. What a marvelous woman. Something in the way she spoke, her stories of coming of age in Ireland, her voice. I read her obituary several weeks ago and felt sad that she was gone.

  I am very impressed that you have taken on some of the contributors to salon.com. Your braver than me. Sometimes I write a few comments, but realized that this forum is not for me. I am still surprised by the hateful, vile comments written about Senator Clinton.

  When she announced her candidacy in January 2007, I did not want her to do it. I thought don't give them the satisfaction of trying to take you down. Little did I realize then the worst offenders would come from the 'left' and not the 'right'. And now that she has exited the race, they still can't stop. Those idiots who jeered when her name was mentioned at an Obama rally in Detroit earlier this week. Have these people no shame or are they just so blatantly immature?

  Thanks for the postings....they are wonderful to read.
