Michael, not all supporters of CORE believe in CORE to the
exclusion of all others. Roberto is a perfect example of that, and
of all the CORE supporters with whom I have engaged in discourse,
Roberto is probably the one with the most integrity, not to mention
the one most willing to keep an open mind and accept the views of
others, and work with them to find areas of consensus and
compromise.
I for one will miss Roberto's contribution to these forums, and
wish him all the luck as he moves on.
In his evaluation of the usefulness of this forum, I find myself in
complete agreement with him.
