Simon,
We all painted out keyboards black to mourn your absence. Or maybe it was just a Goth phase . . .
I took a peek in at the Esau/Jacob thread this morning, and I think from now on you should use this "godly" defense whenever anyone questions the justice of your administrative authori-tay:
"I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,I'm glad your father is doing better. Angharad did a lovely job of holding down the fort while you were away, but it's good to have you back. The place just isn't the same without our favorite pub proprietor.
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."(Romans 9:15)
