Hey Craig

I NEVER SAID THAT.   Don't read me wrong please.  I did NOT say that he
wouldn't be welcome back.   I said that I didn't think *HE* would want
to come back meaning that I assumed he was somewhat embarrassed about
the whole business.     I did not say or mean to say anything else.
Please don't misrepresent me.

I was as troubled as everyone else when the list folded and worried
about what had happened to him.   I have nothing against Bob and
furthermore  I do not presume and have never presumed to speak for any
other members on the boc-list.   People's opinions are their own and
I do not expect anyone necessarily to share mine.   As it happens I would
be happy to see him return and would have been at any time.    Please
note this.
