Steve

Please count me among those who do not wish you to leave.   The majority of
some people's difficulty has to do with the fact that you get a LOT of
work.    I have learned a lot from your posts and you have graciously
answered questions off list as well as on.

Some of your chief detractors would not answer a direct off list question
for anything.   I know this because I have asked questions of some and
gotten no response.

My opinion is that there are several blowhards who should leave the list
ahead of you.    If you leave, you are giving in to the forces of envy
because that is eaxctly what it is.    Some people can't get gigs,
regardless of talent, because they are JERKS.

My .02  and I don't care if nobody asked.
