ISM, sir,

Your post was forwarded to the list by Trisha. People join and
leave the list with a regularity of a heartbeat. The ones who
join during your sabbatical will not know what they are missing,
whilst us, who have had the honour to read the wisdom, poise, and
humour of your posts over the past several years, are only too
keenly aware of the loss.

There are some on this list who understand the true dynamics and
purpose of this C-PALSY list, how important it is for the people
who post here. You are one of those.

Be assured your friends on the list will be thinking of you, and
hoping your sabbatical will be short (more like a "sab" actually)

PS Yes, I do like raising the bar - but only so I can slip
through underneath!!!
