1. Thanks to Serv, Tom, Tim, ECS et al for keeping AQ going. It rmieans the leading source of the most refined, circumspect and erudite commentary available. Period. There are other sites with other commendable features, not a few of which benefit from posts by long-time AQ members. However, what distinguishes AQ is that its intellectual and theological development has been truly organic. What began as a simple contact point for diasporized Trads grew quite naturally, albeit phenomenally, into a forum for everyone from articulate thinkers dealing with intense issues, to Trad newbies and to folks who simply are looking for sound information on a great range of matters. AQ rmieans singularly equipped to handle more issues, more quickly and with more member-directed assistance than any other Trad website.2. While the new format is, for me, a challenge, the consolation is that my friends are ( almost ) all still here. Over time, the adjusting will be accomplised and the promise of in-depth, reliable insights and mirth will inevitably make the effort easier.
