Hello Gang!
 
I'm not bitter or angry, just tired.  I am also sadden, because I have
watched this list slowly and steadily degrade.  I am not going chastise
anyone or anything.  On occasion, I have also been guilty of pushing the
envelope with regard to the rules of this list.
 
In the past, I looked forward to signing on to see what the latest was
on Conch-L.  However, lately I have hesitated, because I did not want to
see who was being flamed or criticized.  First I am a shell collector,
but I also like flying pigs.  In fact there is one flying around me
now!   Wait...  Nope, that was just the cat.  I stepped on his tail. :-0
 
Since I can not stand to watch friends take shots at each other, I will
be unsubscribing from Conch-L.  Before I sign off, I would like to say
that I have met some really neat people (via email) from around the
world.  I wish Conch-L all the best, and I truly hope the list can pull
out of this nose dive.  Take care my friends.  If you need me, you know
where you can find me.
 
Bret
