Cindy, well, i'm glad to know my post was not deleted. hmmm...perhaps i hit preview post instead of post. you asked if i thought YOU were being insincere, Cindy. Why in the world would i think that, Cindy?????????????? On the contrary, i think you tried very hard to keep him here. Cindy, you said you don't know what i'm going on about. Well...it's just a feeling. I FEEL like something is not right here. It's just an instinctual feeling. I am not gonna go around singin' Zippidy Doo Dah just because many of ya'all think it's time to FEEL BETTER about the situation! Sorry, i DON'T feel BETTER about what has happened. i don't understand any of it! I can't say that Tedz was a "friend." We exchanged a few IM's and letters and that's it. But you know, during those exchanges and from seeing his gallery and his comments, i really came to like Brian as a person. Obviously, i am not alone in that. His art...well...i've always been in awe. Anyway, i did contact Brian and received a letter from him this morning. i still feel something is not right here. that's how i feel, and now that i've had some sleep, i will decide if RR is still a place i want to be involved in. Andreas, as for negativity...sorry buddy, but i am not gonna go around pretending to be all happy and smiley when i'm very unhappy that Tedz is gone for LIFE from this place.
