Youā€™ve bumped my already damn good impression of you up a few more notches there, **Tubadiva**. It takes a person of particularly high integrity to admit, ā€œSorry, that was my mistake.ā€ Very classy indeed. šŸ™‚ Youā€™ve affirmed what many of us assumed in the first placeā€“basically, youā€™ve been under stress and just made a bad call. It happens to all of usā€“itā€™s just that in a way, yours is a bit more public. Fun for you. Keep us posted (heh heh) in your job search. Again, let us know if thereā€™s anything we can do to help. {{{{{{{{Jenny}}}}}}}}} ---

Bugger, I posted under **Judi** ā€™s name instead of my own - Iā€™m sure he, too, is appreciative of your apology and wishes you luck in your job search. (damn kids who forget to log out) ---

Thank you, **TubaDiva**. You are truly a class act. I feel compelled to note that my protestations earlier were not a result of some personal vendetta against you (as some ā€œlibertyā€-minded folks seem to think), but rather based on a concern that the rules had changed without any sort of notification. As I said before, you do a great job, one I certainly couldnā€™t do. Your administration is a major reason Iā€™ve been here for more than three years. ---

Ha! I didnā€™t think she had the balls to open that thread again! I know this knew policy is a tough nut to crack, but Iā€™m glad to see that sheā€™s decided to take it firmly in hand, rather than put the squeeze on me. I know that itā€™ll be hard, but Iā€™ll try to be a straight shooter. I just knew everything would eventually come out ok. Iā€™m so happy this worked out. I feel truly blessed. My cup runneth over! I always knew I was a very impotent person. ::Well this stinks, now I have to go an make that other thread worthwhile to somehow to live up to Tubaā€™s decision. Hopefully something will come to me:: ---
