    It goes both ways, Joan

    Us readers (and --some more, some less, than others) post-ers are immensely grateful to and for you, Joan, and Salon. Can't TELL you how much so.

    Many a time you, other staffers, and sundry (and I do mean sundry?! ;-) readers have just plain helped me keep going.

    I REFUSE to make a joke just now about a turkey.

    Hope I haven't disappointed too many avid readers and that all of you are having as "happy" a ?!"Thanksgiving"!? Day as you can!!!!

    "love and greetings to all",
