>From - Mike Disbrow, listowner Subject - How about some thanks to Steve? Fellow Disbrow List subscribers - As any of you who have followed the messages to this list over the past few months know, Stephen Squires has been by far and away the most prolific submitter of information, news and opinions we've had. And now, by the sounds of his recent postings, he's fed up with us and plans to leave the list. I don't know what has gone on "behind the scenes" between Steve and some of the subscribers to this list, and I really don't want to know the details. Steve has apparently been offended directly and also indirectly by certain people, and also by the lack of "debate" and discussion on his posted topics he so earnestly tried to draw out of us. I may be as much to blame as anyone but I honestly just have not had the time for it. When I did try to enter the discussion by posting a question, it only seemed to make matters worse, so I totally withdrew. If anyone here feels (as I do) they have benefitted from Steve's postings, or at least found them highly entertaining, I wish you would take a minute or two to post your thoughts to this list, and if we can't persuade Steve to stay with us, at least let him know he hasn't totally wasted his time with us. It seems Steve has heard all the negative comments, so it's way past time for him to hear something positive. If you agree with me, let him know by posting your thanks to him here. Mike Disbrow
