Syruss,
Mark Twain commenting on an obviously erroneous newspaper article: "Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." It is another of my favorite quotes. Paraphrasing that, "Rumors of Syruss' disappearance from the Board have been greatly exaggerated!" Let's just say you took a short tune-up vacation!
But it would take more than that the keep the Doc in line. I would suggest a full line of cats 'o nine tails, thumbscrews, an iron maiden or two, 28th generation computer virus(he could handle darn near any other kind), the threat of frequent visits by LadyDiver with BOTH her red AND blue editing pens, and forcing him to wear fins that are two sizes too small. And all that would just be marginal.
Well, welcome back ReformedSyruss! And, no, you do not get any dive trips, free beers or other goodies for being nice to me...but, keep it up and we CAN negotiate!
Joewr...feeling like he has not been away at all...
