Dear Mr. Nelson, Thank you for the words of support. I have to say though that the aftermath of my departure seems worse than what precipitated it. Would you please do me a favor by letting the list know that I'm not going far and I'm not quitting this research! I just chose to leave that particular list. I'm still on my lists which anyone is welcome to subscribe to. They can be found on my page. But, ask them to PLEASE take their comments off-line! It's only making things worse for everyone and stirring up more emotions. I just wanted to make a small statement! I should have known PAYNE's are incapable of that... They are welcome to contact me directly or subscribe to one of the other lists I mentioned. If you wouldn't mind doing that for me, I'm sure everyone would be appreciative! I know I would :-} Thanks again! Patrick
