Fred and Jack,

All I am going to say is this.....please stay...please? (now don't make me beg)

It has been a pleasure to chat publicly and privately with both of you, and your knowledge is somthing I can only hope to achieve someday. I have learned so much from both of you.

I hope you are not really gone, and will see my message. I am sure (if I may be so bold) that others feel the same way.

And...BTW (by the way), no smoke yet!

God Speed,

Scott

Speaking on behalf of people who know mayb 1% of what you guys know. Do you have any idea how much we appreciate your help? It's priceless.  I don't know how I can carry on without you - I may have to dump my entire home theater system, go back to an old black and white 13" TV, listen through the TV speakers, find my old transistor radio somewhere and I knew there was a reason that I packed away that old 8-track player (and my wife thought I was nuts! HA! who's nuts now?).

OK, maybe a little dramatic - but we need you here. Please reconsider.

Best wishes to you, Fred and Jack. Continue to enjoy your audio adventure.

Mike
