Appajee, your contributions to the Remedy community are very appreciated, and I think I can speak for Dan and Joel in saying that you have NEVER been considered anything but completely welcome posting to the list. I wish you the best in your future choices, and in the time spent with your family in figuring out what those are to be. Having gone through those times myself recently, I can say that I am a stronger person for having done so. May it be with you as well.
