Dear *Free*,

A faithful synopsis of the state of the case, yours most certainly is! Yes, sir, albeit there ARE two individual groups, it is apparent that the aim of BOTH is to ridicule rather than to enrich. This confirms what I recently wrote about discordance in this forum.

Regrettably, it would also seem that there aren't enough of the more positive thinkers available on the "eslteachersboard" to offer the brand of encouragement (for the more depressed of us) to which you allude. Or, is this 'silence of the ESLnicks' really representative of the apathy of the majority of those who now wallow in the contentment of no longer having occasion to encounter the woes of so many others represented on this board? Be this the case, my friend, I fear your plea for unity will bear little fruit. But, conversely, given the opportunity, those very same now-content puppies suddenly stick their noses up at the less-fortunate of us. That's human nature, I reckon, although I've never quite been able to fathom such deportment. On the other hand, my Judeo-Christian upbringing demands that I continue to believe in Mankind and the capability of personal improvement. (Amen)

Yes ... by all means ... (At least) LET'S (TRY to) UNITE!
