Rich, I applaud your VERY wise and Solomon - like decision...
I am sure you had to put in a lot of time and effort to come to it. Glad you didn't have to offer to cut David in half in order to satisfy everyone, lol!
David - I agree with Eric. I said I look at you as my "sort of online foster kid" as I have tried to support you and offer relevant advice privately. But now that Rich has given you a 2nd chance after a period of reflection during your "read only" time, I will expect a renewed effort to make good on the potential that I feel I have seen in you. I wish you the best of luck in fulfilling that role. Nobody gets "2nd chances" forever.
AND - change your password and never give it to anyone, lol!
