Well, A~...I just can't imagine this place without ya, mate. All the brighter moments and heartfelt tears we've shared as friends and fellow word-addicts will always be a measure of my fondness for you and this site. You, indeed, have a gift for moving eloquence and a most spontaneous, "original" humor! Hopefully your leaving translates more into the venue of a "hiatus" while you attend to the priorities of your life. Cheers, mate! You will be missed.
