Bob, Don't Go !! I admit that I was shocked to read of your
possibly going off into the cosmos. I thought your comment about ghosts was
appropriate and light hearted. I laughed when I read it because the thought
crossed my mind as well. Well said !!
Bob, I for one personally value your input to the list. We need
your sense of humor and especially now. I always read your posts and find
your input invaluable and productive. About once a year, a food fight
occurs between members on this list but by and large,these disruptions are
few and far between.

This list and its members fondly remind me of my dog. Let me explain. Each
morning when I go jogging, my dog absolutely has to bark at all the other
dogs along the way. She really puts on quite a show and she looks like she
is at war with all the neighbor dogs as she appears very upset. Her
behavior I used to take personally but I think its just a matter of her
own way of saying good morning, Perhaps all the barking on this list is the
same ackward way of each person strutting and fretting and greeting each
other.. Oh well... it takes all kinds. To each their own. It's a good list
!

So I hope you are able to change your mind and stay. Besides,if you
leave, you will miss us :) and and what will you do with all of the time
that you save anyway.
