Well i'd like to add my name to the chorus of goodbyes. I am sorry that D the G is off. Its a sad way to start the new year.

If it is ard's line in malarkey that has upset him, I do feel sorry. Its quite stinging at times, and one gets the impression that all the abrasiveness doesn't really make ard himself a happy bunny.

i hope the D the G will reconsider. Friendship and cyber friendship has its limitations. but life is a bit miserable without it.

all the best to all parties and happy new year
