Joe,

You are always welcome here.

There was a time, when you were the foundation of what was good and right about this board. You, CJR and Infojoe would start us off very early, each and every day. Your posts and DD were some of the best we had seen. Your absence here has been felt and unfortunate, as your contributions were important and relevant.

I want to take a moment to formally apologize to you for any grief I caused you and for not being more tolerant and understanding of where you were coming from both with your posts and in private. I have misunderstood you on many levels and although I cannot change what was, I can hope better for the future. You are a smart and compassionate man who should be heard.

I'm sure others here would welcome your return, not your departure.

Sincerely,

Pam
