Hi, Mick. I understand your disdain for dramatic exit threads here on Mudcat. I am compelled to say, however, that your estimation in this case doesn't jib with my reading of Will Fly. Will's posts tend to be knowledgeable and witty. He is generous with musical information, and kind in his answers to those who aren't up to his level of expertise.

He is one who has quietly, unknowingly, made it bearable for me to take one more step each day as I deal with the hellhole of fire ruin once known as my home. Had he not had the courtesy to let us know of his frustration, had he quietly disappeared from Mudcat as I have often been tempted to do, many of us would have have been concerned enough to seek him out.

If he and others like him leave, it's our loss. If he finds himself ready to return, we'll be the richer for it. Either way it is unkind to judge so harshly. We both know it's easy for such kerfuffles to weigh heavily on the mind of an honest soul, seeming to block out the delightful possibilities of Mudcat.

Respectfully,

Maeve
