to say I am saddened by this announcement and turn of events would be an understatment.

Irish.. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know you... not only thru your posts which have not only made me engage my brain but has on countless occassions made me laugh and smile, but also thru the personal emails that you have shared with me over the past year.

I don't care what anyone else may think of you... you are NOT an angry old man... not in any stretch of the imagination.. I am upset that your words were taken wrong but also that whomever this individual was who wrote you (their identity is unimportant) did so to be hurtful... plain and simple...

I can only hope that like other wonderful pixie members who have walked away in the past, you too will return and begin to post again... PLEASE... when you are ready.. know that I will be quick to respond and make you feel welcome again..

Drop me a line sometime... I will miss you around here...

Kisses my friend.
