So far so good. I forgot to say that I'm going to let everyone have a chance to send me that PM, after which I will evaluate what's what. Even though you guys spend a disproportionate amount of time on APC, I appreciate the fact that once in a while, you might actually be working!
I make lists. So I have a list going of everyone who has sent me a PM. It's still early days. I'm going to marinate some chicken for dinner tonight. Will be back in a few hours. Say, if you are in Seattle right now and have no friends and would like a home cooked meal, send me a PM!
I'll get mr. vagabond to pick you up (assuming you are near the airport).

Ok, it's been almost exactly 24 hours. Time sure flies when you're around pilots.
This PM request has been quite a revelation into your minds, feelings, perspective and motivations. I must say I'm touched by some of the things you said. In 8 years as a moderator, I've received more than my fair share of nonsense and vitriol. The only thing I haven't got were threats of bodily harm. The set of PMs that flowed into my Inbox last night and into today were quite interesting, some bordering on sweet.
So, here are the statistics.
72 unique users posted in the last 30 pages.
18 people sent me a PM.
2 of the 18 expressed a desire to leave our little community, even though my request was for a PM indicating you want to stay.
15 of the 18 correctly stated that it was not possible to prove the negative, but here's the PM anyway.
1 of the 18 griped and whined, but did not say whether he/she is in or out.
I see that a new Mesa thread has been started. I had to clean it up some, but it sure looks good. So good that I don't find it necessary to reopen this one. As always, you are encouraged to send me your best argument as to why I should reopen this one. I spend a lot of my time listening to arguments from parties, so yours will get in the queue. No pushing and shoving.
My chicken dinner turned out great, as usual. Shame nobody sent a PM. I mean, mr vagabond was going to pick y'all up and bring you back here for a home cooked meal. When was the last time y'all had a home cooked meal? In any event, I am having home made crepes (both savory and sweet; Normandy style not Breton), home made yogurt and home brewed espresso for brunch on Monday, the 27th. After that, we are off to BOI for the Basque Festival.
I have to go. My little dog has business to attend to.
