John,

Sorry to hear that. I always respected your views here and think highly of you personally based on the impressions of common contacts we have. I have exchanged private messages regarding "JVP" and for the greater part they were supportive of you. Those that were not always attacked you on a personal level, never on a professional one. I wonder why? :-)

I understand that it must become wearisome to maintain your standpoints in the face of personal attacks. For what it's worth I personally have gained a lot of knowledge from your participation. I have also been often highly entertained as well, but that's just bonus.

Hope you reconsider your decision; I was just starting to get a handle on the SPT vs RV issue...

J
