I'd like to recognize, even applaud, all the members who have taken part in
this discussion. You have provided information that each of us can pursue in
trying to understand the legacy that we will leave to future generations.
All too often, discussions like this tailspin into rancor, and ugliness.
Here it hasn't ... well, not yet at any rate, and I don't expect it will.
In addition to being Ecomodders, I think you also have a valid claim to be
"Equmodders"... "Equ" being short for equable:
Equable \E"qua*ble\ (?; 277), a. [L. aequabilis, fr. aequare to make level or
equal, fr. aequus even, equal.]
1. Equal and uniform; continuing the same at different times; -- said of
motion, and the like; uniform in surface; smooth; as, an equable plain or
globe. [1913 Webster]
2. Uniform in action or intensity; not variable or changing; -- said of the
feelings or temper. [1913 Webster]
Well done, and thank you.
