   Thanks for the notice, Michelle. I'll miss paul. He was perhaps my   
   favorite debate opponent, and a man whose interest in politics and   
   people equals my own. I just wish I had been in town so I could have   
   attended his service.   
      
   paul set an example for all of us. You can argue your politics (with   
   passion), and not be a jerk. A lesson we all can benefit from.
