John,
I usually make it a point to welcome new folks but I've been really busy,
as well who knows how others are too, so for that I apologize, but there
are times when no one answers me either, and I understand folks get busy.
Heck, Julie finally answered me after a couple month delay hahahaha... no
worries. Anyway, you can leave if you like, and even though we do benefit
from being on the list in areas of fellowship and etc., we are also here
for each other me for you, you for, Phil, Phil for Carol, Carol for Julie,
Julie for Pat and so on and so on. Anyway you are certainly welcome to
leave but it would be nice to get a chance to know you for longer than just
a few days :).
Brad
