I just wanted to welcome you over to this forum. Your posts so far have been excellent and very educational. I just want to encourage you to stick around despite some of the derailing of good discussion that goes on. For every dissenting and unreasonable YEC you have to suffer there are a number of people out there who are not part of the discussion who are thoroughly enjoying your posts. If in doubt, just check the "## Guests" in the who list at the top of the page. I was an uninformed and curious member of that group long before I started posting here and it was the great insight of posters of your quality who made me really want to be a part of this community.
