In the words of Vito Corleone:

"How did things ever get so far?"

Double-J, I am glad to hear you are alive and well. I am one of those eternal semi-optimists (on the BB, anyway) who would like to think there is a way for all our differences of opinion here to be dealt with in a mature and respectful fashion. Yes, I know, it doesn't always happen.

I, personally, would not like to see you leave the Boards.

I will say again, as I did earlier in this thread, that I feel nobody here would want to see physical harm come to another member.

However, after reflecting on what Mad Johnny has done, I may be forced to amend that statement.



Signor V.


"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
