Two very nice posts by both of you.
Sadly, Alex was zotted.
This is the first I have heard that Alex Murphy has been zotted. I have no idea of why and no one owes me an explanation. I would ask that Alex Murphy be allowed to return because, while I disagree with some specifics of his faith, I have always found him to be a gentleman and one who has served an informative role here. FR is poorer for his absence.
Of course, as always, it is your living room and your decision but perhaps some mercy is in order.
