re: "I would suggest to Matt fire himself and hire you"
Now, THAT's a GREAT idea!!!!
But ... as we used to say ... "Nevah hoppen!"
I know Matt tries to stay abreast of what's going on in The Jailhouse (which must be a major chore, in itself). It wouldn't surprise me if he found our recent exchange reasonable. I know he'd rather see you out and about than socked up in here. After all, that's the business he's in.
If it happens that you wind up back on the boards, I have a suggestion (if you're willing): If one of those clowns REALLY annoys you, let me know in a PM and between us we'll devise a zinger that'll pop his pimple. It'll be fun! As I said to someone the other day, a post without humor is a post without soul.
Hang in, Raf ... let's laugh at the bastards.
