Bear,

There is no one remotely more qualified to be our hub leader than you.  You are fair, super knowledgeable, and insightful. You keep us all calm in the eye of the storm.  Thank you thank you thank you for all that you do.  

I am sorry that you have to be at times the baby sitter and to some degree of unpopularity also enforce the hub rules and take the action on those for not abiding to the rules.  What a thankless job that must be to be honest.  

Certainly this latest SF action was warranted.  I gave up reading his posts of late.  Too repetitious.  

But having said that...we...the hub...equally have a responsibility to NOT engage when there are other clear agendas.  For when we do...we continue to give a voice and also put you in a very bad position Bear.   

There were many times during the past few months when I should have made the point I'm making now.  To try to quiet or temper those that equally loved every SF post simply so they could reply and perpetuate it all. 

Quite frankly there were many others who worsened the situation instead of silencing it.  So in the end you had to.  I am sorry for not being more vocal in the past to help you out.  

In the future I will be more vocal.  This shouldn't have been all on your shoulders Hub leader or not.  This is "our" hub afterall.  

And, if I may, I've noticed that you've been a little less visible on the board than in the past.  Maybe you're growing tired of it all I don't really know.  Maybe I'm even wrong.  

But if I'm right, then I hope your seeming disengagement is more due to the fact that there has been no new info from RVX (or nothing substantially net new) and much less due to the fact that you're growing tired of it all.  I wouldn't blame you if thats the case.  

Once again, thank you for all that you do to not only educate us all and call a totally unbiased and fair game, but for also having to deal with all of the BS from time to time. For all of us, we need to try our damndess to not put you Bear in that position ever again going forward!  

Simply put, your the very best at what you, how you've organized all of this crazy information at your finger tips simply astounds me.  So, Bear, thanks for that!  Now, let's get this RVX machine going once and for all!
