Hi micro,
I'm not hiding, my friend ... I'm right here! 
I understand Bob's reasons, but I don't like the new, more restrictive rules regarding the posting of articles. I like to post full, unedited articles so as to minimize any contextual distortion for anyone who does not want to click on the link. I believe it makes for better discussion of the pertinent issues presented in the article, but ... oh well. I also have much better use for my time than to verbally joust with willful idiots like killthecat and clo on other AB boards.
I will look in from time to time and respond, but my time spent here on the AB boards will be greatly curtailed from what it once was.
I hope you had a very merry Christmas and continue to have a fabulous 2012!
B.
