This thread may well be locked soon. I will say one thing:  God Bless Doug and endurance in going through the present time. I do thank him for the excellent work on the LWITG and other aspects of the forum.   He is low profile for one reason, it appears, to be candid and perhaps avoid all the "kick em when they are down" mentalities. That was a nobel effort and not a good bye or a good bye with no reason.  Give this man his time!  Thanks, Doug. You are appreciated.  As is..kindness by those with feeling hearts, regardless of personal interpretations of other issues which are irrevelant to this thread.

Artists are complex.  Our lives are not the sum of our work.           TomDart.
