Buddy:

I know and appreciate what you are saying, but I guess I feel somewhat 
personally responsible for keeping the round tables going, since it was my 
idea in the first place. ...  What I hope is that others will give net 
control a try, and find out that it really isn't that hard and is actually a 
lot of fun.

I appreciate your understanding, though.

As I said, I might be able to sneak in there right at the beginning for a 
few minutes, but when our guest arrive, I'll have to QRT.
