[AccessD] MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF FEARLESS BOARD MEMBER COLBY

I may be being very sensitive at this moment, dealing daily as I am with 
my father's really bad health. But, I am really uncomfortable with 
anybody attacking a list member.  I am especially uncomfortable when the 
person being attacked is someone I regard as a personal friend.  If I 
fail to stand up for him I fail to meet my own moral standards.

So. . . please do not attack my friend John Colby, a man who has given 
many hours of kind willingness to share what he has learned, or 
invented, with all of us.  I learn valuable treasure from JC every time 
he publishes or posts a new lesson.  Whenever I have asked him directly 
for assistance, he has done his best to assist me.  What more are we 
truly to ask of one another in this list? We share our knowledge and 
help each other with Access development issues.  I am very grateful for 
this list and for the people on it.  I really do not want to fight with 
anyone, and I don't want to witness a fight.  I simply cannot honorably 
stand by and allow one colleague to attack another.
