Lounge Issues with LarryS

LarryS has a veritable cornucopia of knowledge and values to impart to readers. Rather than force readers to search through thread after thread (after thread) after thread (after thread) for these kernels of wisdom, I'm hoping LarryS will take advantage of this fine opportunity to hold forth and explicate on everything important in life -- and beyond, if he chooses (not being anti-semitic here; afterlife belief may not be ruled out by Judaism per se).

Everyone who has benefited from LarryS's broad wisdom is invited to thank him here, but other than that, let's leave the floor to LarryS,
