We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: QOTD for Saturday, April 24, 2010

The following quote is taken from The Custom of the Army by Diana Gabaldon, Copyright (c) 2010 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved

"Grey was conscious of a most extraordinary array of sensations. Relief, yes, there was a sense of profound relief, as of one waking from a nightmare. There was also a sense of injustice, colored by the beginnings of indignation; by God, he had nearly been married! He might, of course, also have been maimed or killed as a result of the imbroglio, but that seemed relatively inconsequent; he was a soldier, after all - such things happened. His hand trembled slightly as he set the note down. Beneath relief, gratitude and indignation was a growing sense of horror.

I thought it might ease your mind. . . He could see Hunter's face, saying this, sympathetic, intelligent, and cheerful. It was a straightforward remark, but one fully cognizant of its own irony."
