I agree wholeheartedly. A little brotherhood/sisterhood never hurt anyone.. and some civility is nice. Why harm one another.. why be rude? I do not think it solves anything..

I do agree that it is like a family here. Alot of people have strong, caring compassion... and I am touched. In a world that is so rushed and rude, I find really nice people. It counters alot of the really mean, self-absorded travelers you meet on the road..

bravo to you all!
