Hi folks,

Due to personal matters, and for reasons that I am not able to discuss at this time, I am taking a leave of absence from this board for a while.

I've had a terrific time discussing various topics with all of you, from religion to gun control to politics. We live in interesting times, and you are all interesting people... even those of you with whom I disagree.

I hope to be back soon, but things are kind of up in the air right now, so I don't really know when that will be.

Best wishes to all of you.

Elliot

Hurry back!!
I always valued everything you say even as far back as askme.
and appreciate your being here.

Take care!
Hurry back!!

Sorry to see you go Elliot; your writing has been thought provoking and you have provided a great contribution to this virtual community.

Dear Elliot,

We have had our differences recently, but I admire your devotion to your political opinions, and your desire to present a good case for your positions. You have been one of my favorite internet folks for a long time, and I wish you only the best in the future months. :)

It will be a nice day when I see you have signed on again. :):):)

Best wishes,
