Wow...an open letter to Max, wonderful....lemme put my two cents worth in.

Dear Max

Wherever you are I hope you're far too busy or disinterested to even read this, let alone answer it. A couple of my Mudcat friends are a tad miffed that you're not answering your phone or e-mails from them.....but not ME! I understand that Jeff may also be a bit too busy with the actual flesh and blood world and it's travails to be accountable on a daily basis. Bravo! I hope both of you are coping with life's vagaries, and perhaps I'll get to say "Hi" to you at the Washington Getaway.

Every day while waiting for my spam to download I turn to my favourite current hobby, Mudcat. Sometimes it AIN'T THERE(!!) and I think, "aww shit, he's packed it in...but who can blame him...it must be screwing up SOME aspects (if not all) of his real life. But if it's all over, then I sure owe the guy some big thanks for the four years of fun and the number of good friends I've made. But....a few hours later, it's back.....so the fun continues.

So.....Dear Max, wherever you are...don't concern yourself...you've done enough!

Cheers

Rick
