When I first thought about the question of restoration I went for 'gut feeling' -I'm happy with the Status Que and thats about it. I didn't think that anything that would be said would change anyone's mind and as such didn't really feel the need to explain myself. My approach was light heated and a bit flippant. It didn't take long before it became obvious that others were deadly serious about wining the argument. Naively, I thought it was a chat about prehistory.

Difficult to keep it light hearted when the insults are flying, but that aside, it became obvious to me that the reasoning you and others put forward were at the heart of what I was thinking, and that as this thread has got longer, I find it more so.

I can now say that I feel that I have found something that ties me to the future. In big part you are responsible for that, so I wish to say thank you.

As for anything else, well thats for the future and I'm still flippant and light heartedd about the subject.
