Back from lunch and whatnot, must now try to write a bit more, although I'm happy with what I did this morning.
Unlike Tomovoz, I don't appreciate the reasons for Jay's leaving us, nor do I appreciate the fact that he, in fact, never owned up to said reasons in private e-mails with folks. I think it a sad day when a dear reader allows him or herself to be influenced by a disgruntled person. The disgruntled person gets over the disgruntlement but the dear reader continues to stay away.
And I'm with elmore re Stuart - take a few days, but come on, no one was trying to be a true anti semite or I would toss them off this board so fast it would make people's heads spin. I miss them both, but, you know, oh, well.
