Hello everyone, I would be the first one to admitt that if I told I'd be saying this 9 months ago, I probably would've stated "Hell no I wont", but life has a funny way of changing things and people's opinions... ...as it has done with mine. It's not much of a secret that JeffH and I have had "issues" with each other in the past, to the point that if we could've been left alone in a room we probably would've pummelled each other to death (Lord knows, I've gotten Jeff that pissed at me in the past). However, I've got to be truthfully about some things that I've been thinking about for some time now... Even though I have had "issues" in the past with Jeff, one can not ignore the fact that he is EXTREMELY dedicated to this Community. He has always fought VERY HARD to defend the legions of artists here and has ALWAYS done his best to PROTECT the interests of all of the artists (most of our problems with each other is we didn't agree with the way in which to Protect those interests). What people may not know about Jeff, is the fact that he has been a part of this Community for a long time. He has undergone allot of harsh treatment (some suffered by myself) and STILL he NEVER GAVE UP ON THIS COMMUNITY. Even when all others (like myself) needed to step back and take a break, Jeff has continued nonpaused in his endeavors and hangs in there, trying his best to meet the needs and demands of this Community. So, in saying that, Jeff, please allow me to say: You and I have had our issues with one another and our objections as well in the past. Even now there may be times were we may disagree with one another. However, let me commend you and THANK YOU for the service that you continue to provide to this Community, the support that you've offered to everyone here (myself included). In short, I guess what I am trying to say is that I respect and appreciate you Jeff and I am damn glad to see that you are still a part of this Community!! Jack
