Hi Dennis,

I truly enjoy the updates you present from the instruments you have, plain and simple. You don't go off half cocked and issue scary predictions. In this case you merely made an assessment of what happened after the instrument readings. I think someone misunderstood that you've done this often and we do appreciate what the results are.

You and I have had our disagreements over the years, but I have always respected you and have truly enjoyed your sharing the information you've obtained. I think it is valuable in the research arena and I hope you'll reconsider your decision.

If you don't do anything else, at least consider building a web site of your own and report the data and your results so those who like to know what you have to say, can still do so. Its totally free and believe you me, if I can do it without even reading the instructions, you should have no problem at all.

The other consideration for staying aside from your contribution in the data area is your feedback on the issues and information that come forward. You usually offer a point of view that gives us something to think about and you've been around long enough to draw from your experience.

I feel you are an integral part of this forum and I'd hate to see you leave. I know exactly how you feel, been there, done that a few times. But everytime I think I want to just give up, someone says something and I just can't walk away from a good discussion. Let's face it, in life in many area's we have to verbally fight to have what we want or think we deserve. We don't always get it, but if we stand up for what we believe in, then at least we said something.

Do put on your suit of armor, get that sword out of the closet and just say what you think. Some will agree, some won't, but at least you're not going to sit in silence.

They say silence is golden. Well only if you don't have anything to say.

Please reconsider - Petra
