Tim: I'm with those who hope you won't go and with those who've seen this before and aren't sure whether to take it seriously. What the hell, though? I'd rather be a sap than a cad, so I'll bid you farewell every time you pull this maneuver. It was watching a poem of yours go through revision that first hooked me on this place. And when I first posted one of mine, it was the warmth (or was it heat?) of the reception you and Alan (and Janet Kenny and others!) gave me that really sealed the addiction. I've learned a ton from you and enjoyed knowing you a little around here. I wish you and Alan all the best and years and years in which to enjoy it. Take care, Tim. --Simon
P.S. Aside to John Beaton: It's Tim's to decide, I suppose, but I think you misjudge Mark Allinson in this thread. I thought his post was a loving tweak of a friend with whom he might be said to share a certain sensitivity...
