There have been some reasons, other than family time, that Jamie has been absent. I also think it is unlikely that anything will be done to resolve the issues that have caused his absence, but time heals many wounds, so we'll see.

(Apologies and respect also heal wounds, but I don't foresee that happening any time soon.)

Enough said...

Be well,

Star
Missed? That's a bit of an understatement.

There are a number of regular contributors to this board which truly give it it's personality, which help make it what it unique. I put you and Jamie high on that list. (And yes, you too Grant).
It's those personalities, that friendly banter that makes this forum what it is. Even most of the disagreements have an underlying respect between the posters. On the odd occasion where that respect is not there, the offending member is usually called out on it and an apology is usually made.

It's that sort of mutual respect that makes this feel like a family, not simply an informational forum. To be honest, that (in my opinion) is what keeps this forum alive.
Face it, how many posts can be made about pleat styles, how low to hang a sporran or how to respond to "the question?" If that's the goal of the forum, then all threads should be locked. If someone has a question or an insight, they can be directed to the appropriate threads from the past where the subject was covered. Perhaps some sort of search engine can be engineered for this purpose.

But I digress.

Jamie, Starr - be well. I sincerely hope your absence isn't over long, and remember you have friends here.
