To Bernhard and Dave,

Thank you both for the understanding on your part.  As you will
see from a post I have written earlier, we did not make this decision
lightly.

Also, people are forgetting what a nice group this really is.
They day they compare this group to RGCC and do not know the
difference is the day I get really concerned.
