Didn't agree with Ralph all the time, but he sure did challenge a lot of folks on here. Just the fact that he's on this weblist shows that he's a legend. Intelligent and not afraid to hurl a brick at those whose opinions were off historically, philosophy or factually--or who just forgot to use spell-check. I think the site got a little less interesting when he left. He communicated his opinions very lucidly, whether or not you'd agree that's beside the point. Ralph unfortunately just self-imploded at the end.
