It's almost as if he has male PMS. Don't get me wrong, I like Jim. He's always supported me in here and even sent me a CD of his entire MM database. It was just off-putting to me when he said there were no more "engaging" conversations in the echo. Sometimes you have to start conversation to enjoy it...in any case, I'm here and not planning on leaving unless something terrible happens. I just feel bad since the echo has lost so many people recently due to death and other unavoidable circumstances that someone would up and leave. I guess my having nearly died three times last year has made me acutely aware of some things.
