Ross, I am sorry this is a reason for unsubscribing.  Sometimes email 
communication can be a tricky thing and people may let their moods get 
in the way.  I've never met anyone immune to that.  Personally I've 
always valued your opinion in matters, even if I am in disagreement. 
This is the *only* way to solve problems, i.e. to have different views 
of a single problem then move on towards a solution from there.  I do 
look forward to your return.

CONGRATULATIONS!  Hope all goes well for you and your family!
