[Anonymous]

Thank you RW, Thiel and dsm..



I enjoyed reading your lists very much.

I have to decline my nomination. You people already know too much about me.

I've posted with you for a LONG time and I don't know that much about you at all.  I understand the reservation but considering how little we do know about you, I ask you to kindly reconsider.  It can be as superficial as you like.
