Gee, Max,

My first impression is that I am sorry it had to come to this. As I have mentioned before, I am adverse to rules as a solution to a human problem. I am not, however, an anarchist. I think there are many rules that exist to keep the ruled community in existance. I realize that the world is a far from perfect place. When the arms of the 'Cat are thrown wide open it is bound to get some of the flotsam and jetsam of humanity.

If you pulled who I think you pulled, I don't have any strong qualms about it. The person I have in mind still seemed to be trying to "pluck everyone's last nerve" (as they say here in Baltimore).

I imagine they will not call you. If they do, it should be quite an interesting call. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that conversation (you don't really have flies on the wall, though, do you?).

My bottom line, Max, is that this site owes everything to you and I think that gives you the right to do as you see fit. I haven't met you in person (though I hope you're coming to the October Getaway), but you have struck me through your postings as a right decent chap. You have left a path back in for those who choose to take it.

I sure hope this works.

Roger in Baltimore
