I second Sulasailor's opine about this this thread is running a little souro now.  Lots of bruised egos showing lately.  How about taking this thread over to "Off Topic" where slings and arrows can be exchanged ad lib so that we can move on to more conjovial and informative exchanges here on the   Discussion Forum?  I for one don't care whether Jack is back or not.  If he is then he too can take it over to the Off Topic forum... please.
