Really makes no sense Reg - this message board for all intent and purposes is a meeting place - more or less no rules and no one saying yes or no. It's also a really really tiny dot in the grand scheme of things.

You're a friend to those who pay a visit. And a trusted voice to those who've been around a while. Your absence would (or worse - non- participation) would leave a hole. Know that.

I don't pretend to know any of the outside forces - but this much is true. You are not meant to not be here.

And you don't have to say anything. Just come back with a post when the mood strikes.
