Thanks for helping me. Couldn't have done it without you.

It's been hinted at so many times. March 4th to JP:

"Maybe you should change the name of this group to something more
suitable to
your liking." 10490

You can find many more "hints" from various people that go way back.
It doesn't become sarcastic after hearing it over and over in my mind.
I thought it would be best. I thought it was what he wanted and still
may want, I don't think he is 100% happy here and wanted his name off of
this group. So, to everyone that thought I "spat" in his face, that is
the most UNTRUE thing I can possibly think of!!!!!!!!!!!! JB know's that
is not true and I guess that's all that really matters.

It shouldn't change.

And there should be no personal attacks against anyone too.

Yes, and I guess I like multi-tasking ideas better than some...That's
me.

I agree.

Yes.

Bottom line, no insult was ever intended.

pillar.

Thanks for the kind words Miki,
