Oh, and thank you to those who have posted here and on various other threads the little snarks about whether or not it's "allowed" to discuss politics on this forum - you know who you are. 
Listen gang, I'm just trying to respect the views of everyone here. And to keep the intimidation factor down as much as possible.
And I do want to applaud you all for keeping it very civil and respectful throughout this long and sometimes nasty campaign (snarkly little asides and avatars and sig lines notwithstanding). Some forums have not been so understanding.
So cheers, everyone !
