clo, first, thanks for allowing me here. From my initial experiences with you, I can tell you're not a paranoid, xenophobic, racist, geriatric old codger like a couple of other moderators I've met.
I have to say, though, I'm skeptical that KTC is a Republican. One time, I went back to the GOV board on Raging Bull to look up something, during the moment that Kerry appeared to be the winner when the exit polls got it wrong. I noticed KTC was completely demoralized and disappeared for days. Plus I've noticed KTC makes a lot of anti-GOP posts.
But, if he wants to tell me he's a Repub, that's cool.
