During my conversation with Bob, I refreshed his memory that you did not
agree with all of Nick's doings that precipitated the Scuba-L
mass-exodus, only that you fully supported Nick's right as a list
manager to run the list any way he saw fit, even if that meant running
it into the ground.  At least that's how you described it to me at the
time and how I recall it.  In any case, that was a pretty emotionally
charged time and everyone reacts differently.  For me, I prefer to bury
the hatchet, particularly when there are much more effective weapons
available. :-)

I expect a call from you or Jeannie as soon as you become
'grandma/grampa' for the second time!  :-)
