Elaine, no one who knows you, or who knows anything at all about you wants you to leave this place.
Just a little while ago you wrote a very clean, clear feisty message and now abruptly, and with alacrity, you're outta here.
What happened between then and now? Something? Stop the intrigue.
There's been so much high drama lately, what with all the entrances and exits, it's almost developed in the the plot for an opera buffo, were it not so personal and serious.
Clearly, my dear Elaine, you're needed here. Your contribution is sui generis, and so is that of Jim, and everyone else who has an ounce of compassion and knowledge and the willingness to share it.
In any case, please, please don't let egos get in the way here. As for myself, if I were to throw a hissey and seriously decide to leave, I'd just leave because I don't think anyone basically gives a rat's ass whether or not I stay or go, but you're something else entirely.
So come on back on board. The ship wouldn't be the same without you.
Ken
