Jeez Rabbit, dont bury me just yet.
Not gone, sometimes just need a mini-vacation with a little r&r.
Everyone posting on this thread, understand that sometimes you just need to take a breath, and walk away for a second. Cool down a minute. There's a rule that a great boss taught me several years back about email, which is obviously quite similar to a forum IM post. If you read something that makes you angry and type a reply - save it until tomorrow. See if you feel the same way before you press submit. Though its a bit different on an im, you can still bang out your response and not post it- let it simmer a bit and see if you feel the same way later.
As to some of the interpretations and whether a Mod should look at PM's. If they do, its because they may have to. Remember that PM you send has certain rules you agree to when you submitt, and its likely a Mods responsibility to make sure people are abiding by them.
And the last thing I have to say is a word about Bjuice. A little while ago I took that break, due to life and some health stuff and just in general needed to cool off. I'd come in hidden just to check on you guys and see how things are going. Brian saw this and dropped me a line, asked how I was doing and reminded me why this is the best site with the best people on the web. He has never met me but truly was concerned about me. He cares- thats why he volunteers hs own time to moderate this group of goofballs.
Folks go to your corners, cool off and come back when you are better of spirit- Because you will always be welcome here.
And Rudy, remember one thing- a man's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness - Don't be a stranger old friend.
later,
S
