Techchick seems dead-set on leaving. But I thought it might change her mind if she saw how many people really want her to stay. So c’mon, show of hands people. ::hand firmly up-thrust:: ---

Hey TC! Reconsider. We still love you. We just lost Wally and don’t need to lose anyone else quite yet. Stay out of the pit, ignore what they say there. Hopefully those of us who can’t stay out of there will refrain from telling you what is happening there. As far as I’ve seen, all the nastiness has happened down there, not here. WE aren’t mean, it’s THEM! Please?? ---

And me! (I don’t know what it’s all about, since I don’t go to the Pit, but anybody who flames is worth ignoring.) ---

Please reconsider and stay. Or at least consider a short sabbatical. While I wasn’t witness to anything that happened off the boards, I read about the dispute and I can understand your frustrations and hurt feelings. I can’t say anything about what happened but I have to say that I admire your loyalty. Your presence on these boards would be missed by many, including me. You’ve given a lot (the wonderful banner is something I really appreciate). I can understand you wanting to leave as I’m sure this dispute has been painful to all involved. Please consider a sabbatical rather than a permanent sign-off. ---

Please? Don’t let the obnoxious few deprive the rest of us of your warm and wonderful presence, ok? ---

Stay TC. Never let other’s opinions detract from your opinion or self-worth. * * * The right to be heard does NOT automatically the right to be taken seriously ---

Well, my vote should be obvious to anyone that’s read through the Pit thread. Please do come back when you’re ready. Oh, and anyone in need of their Techchick fix can still find her over at Fathom. I’ll have to start spending more time over there myself. ---
