>>I have just been advised for about the 7th time to leave and UT and am finally going to heed it. It's not a UT problem, it's a Mike problem. Whiling away the hours in chatter is not a good use of my time. Most of you are fine and it's been a pleasant pastime. For me it is just not healthy. I have drinking and depression problems that have not gone away and need to focus on that. So for once in my life I am going to listen to reason.

Thanks for the good wishes.

I have changed my mind. Michel, please consider my request to be blocked dropped. (Can someone please forward this message to him? I can't seem to find a Contact Us link). I can control myself. I definitely plan to keep a very low profile in the chatter threads, at least the political ones. It's kind of a waste anyway, isn't it? Our positions are all so well known all you have to see is the thread title and the name of the poster and you know about what they're going to say. I do, however, want to keep access to the .NET and SQL Server sections.
