In Rebuttal: I must say that I am sadden and grieved to find that two of our distinguished colleagues and fellow posters, one a distinguished son from the great state of Georgia and the other, that clarion voice and oft stated oracle from New York have felt it in themselves to delineate a point of exhaustibility or for the lack of a better word, a TOP for our dear and beloved QCOM. Gentlemen, no ordinary responsibility rests upon you. The eyes of this thread and most assuredly the eyes of many more including the big "Y" are directed to your action with an anxiety commensurate with the importance of the subject to be affected by your decision, that subject is no less than the right of our dearly beloved to proceed forward with unprecedented fleetness to it's rightful place, a special quadrant so allocated in the great halls of the Gorilla. In your situation even good intentions will not justify error. At your hands the threaders will require a strict account of the integrity of said thread in which you are appointed guardians and over whose most vital part a fatal stab is now impending. Neither can respond with the epochal refrain from Cain, for when it comes to this holy Union, see that you do not rob it of it's richest treasure. yes, you are your brother's keeper. Gentlemen, you may think it an easy and trifling matter to deprive our beloved of her elective franchise, for she is young, and may not, perchance have the power to resist, but I am much mistaken in the character of this fair lady if you do not find that she has both the will and strength in such proportions that you will be forced to tremble in refutation. You may yet find to your sorrow that you have confronted a Lion where you only thought to crush a Lamb. This thread would as soon think of putting it's head in said Lion's mouth as to accept a course which in it's implied acceptance would surely lead to mediocrity. I humbly ask on the part of her followers that you rescind this most horrible of statements which presses like foul incubus on our holy thread. However, if your determination is taken, if the blow must fall, if the thread must bleed, I have but one request on her behalf to make: when you decide that she cannot proceed to higher levels, at that same moment, as we have asked of many offering so vague an opinion, surrender thou stock in the vein of Isaac, without quiver and debate. GENTLEMEN, I HAVE SEEN A TOP AND BELIEVE ME, THIS AIN'T NO TOP! Respectfully submitted, Voltaire
