I suppose that if I went back and read all of Doug's columns here, my agree/disagree scale would be tipping well to the right and it would be the first time in my life I ever tipped to the right.
But Doug's commitment to fairness, to what was right with journalism in this country for so many decades and is so rarely still right with it today, his amazing commitment to not only this forum but to keeping it unique among all the boards with which I am familiar, are the reasons I come back here and visit no other board on a recurring basis.
My hat is off to you, Doug, and my heart is out to you and your family. May the best medical care and the strongest will to pull through descend upon you in magnificent quantities!
