Good bye...

[Nancy Palmquist]

John,

To let just one person drive you away, I hope you will rethink that 
decision.

Just filter the unwanted person to the Trash bucket and be done with 
it.  I have done that to people over the years, when my tolerance got 
pressed to the limit.  I am not naming any names.

It is certainly a poor commentary when people can't get along in a 
public forum that promotes us all.

I just picked up bits and pieces, but this is a professional forum and 
certainly no place for name calling and petty bickering.

But if you are on to better things in your retirement, please keep in touch.

You will surely be missed.

Nancy
