Believe me that I have no desire to be a boss -- not around here, not anywhere.  Having given you that impression, though, really made me think.  A couple of participants took umbrage with my notes on spelling, etc.  They didn't see it as a helping hand; they saw it as a personal offense and something to make fun of.  I've felt the 'official' chill more than once.  Having later (in this thread) given Kurt a good laugh over my board structure, and add to it the fact I'm garnering unwanted attention via PM's again and, I think it's finally sinking in!  lol, I can be a little thick sometimes.  This wasn't the place for me to be.
I salute the kind, level-headed, well-spoken individuals who've posted here, and wish them good luck.  Particularly DD, who always went out of his way to make me (and many others) feel welcome, and made it look natural (which to him, it probably is). 

Be well, and best wishes to all of you.

I hope this don't mean what I think it means! Heidi, I know I don't know you but from what I've read in your posts you are wanted, and needed here! your point of view and understanding is what we need here. Please reconsider.

It probably does, based on the past, but also based on the past there's always the chance that 18 or so months later she'll drift back over into our neck of the cyberwoods and see what's new (i.e. what happened when she took a "break" from the old forum) ... here's hoping that she will be impressed/proud with what she witnesses upon her return!

PS: Thanks Heidi, I am not being artificially humble when I say that I somehow don't feel I deserve your kind words. But thanks, perhaps in objective reality I gotta realize that actions speak louder than self-image eh? And in that case, then I am not the only one on this forum, methinks.
