Just to second what JD said in the other thread - merry Xmas and a happy new year to all contributors and readers. JD himself merits a particular mention for all his hard work in the last year as regards keeping people appraised of the truth and at the same time dispelling the myths.
A special thanks also to TDO's detractors, who have (ironically) played a big part in keeping the site going, in the same way that similar people over the years have maintained my interest in these matters when I've often more or less decided not to bother.
It's not often I quote Christian Aquilera

lyrics, but these neatly demonstrate how the negativity can have positive results

, so these are for our our mates elsewhere:
Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I just wanna say thank you
Cause it:
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
