LOL, This is what I got back from AHN! Guess I would do better if I called
in. Just wanted to let you all see it. Marsden, I am sorry to hear you are
leaving. You have offered me tremendous support and knowledge. It would be
nice of you to drop by and keep us all up to date. Please take good care of
yourself friend! Know we are always here if you need us. Although if my
opinion counts for anything(lol) I think that because you have found the
support you have needed here, that it would be a shame to lose contact with
us. You have an established relationship with the list. You have been most
helpful and your input does matter. Food for thought is all.
Your friend,
Maria
