I may not post much, but I have gained much insight over the months perusing and gleaning from so much experience on this forum, and I'd just like to wish a Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish brethren here! This non-religious holiday is perhaps best exemplified by Patrick Henry's memorable words: "...
