I have only been a "listener and chatter" on Hearme a few times, and was very appreciative of the opportunity to do so, not realizing the significant role Jon played in making it a reality. I read the "thread from Hell" as I like to call it and cannot find fault with Jon wanting to pass Hearme on to someone else. Jon, I find it somewhat sad that it has come to this point, and everyone is right in saying you have contributed an awesome amount to Mudcat by instituting the Hearme. I hope that those who participate in the venue take the opportunity to respect the purpose that it was set up for and use it responsibly. If you don't like it, then leave it alone.

I hope that you will continue to participate Jon, because your presence will be sorely missed.

In Humble Appreciation (and respect) Pixie
