Oh, Jesse help me here. You wrote that you tend to delete my emails without reading them but you are obviously replying to one of them. Like those reading now, I'm smelling something fishy here. Or did your slave master Howard come to drag and force you to reply? It seems, like the other high profile users, you too are quietly dissapearing but Howard came to bribe you to come and show your face here because of the remark I made about you. That's sad. If you've quit Tapestry don't be shy to admit. Above all you'll be free from your master since he's been treating you like a slave for too long a time. And everyone here would rejoice a slave is finally set free.
