Dear David,
Actually, I got a lot out of this thread of yours and we all had an opportunity to air issues.
I learned, for one thing, that Serge can come back any time, and I thank God that the bridge between this place and Reader Sergius has not been completely burned.
The Administrator's contributions here have served to crystallize even further the whole issue of respectful discourse on the Forum and the Forum's identity and purpose.
And we have Brendan to thank for that as well.
I look forward to having both Brendan and Reader Sergius back here as regular posters when they can both respond to issues and share their usual wit and wisdom with us without feeling inhibited by anything at all.
We need them both back, we love them and cherish them as our friends.
As we do you too, Big Guy!
Alex
