Come on Jim, if I may take a lesson from Mark. . . ehem. . . let me try this:

In the words of Qui-gon (Star Wars Phantom Menis): You and this Chapter form a symbiant circle. What happens to one (you) is bound to effect the other (chapter).

All pride aside Jim, this Chapter is where it is because of the input from each one of us. This does not exclude you. You are a big part of this Chapter, and we all need you back. Swallow your pride and come back. No begging for forgiveness or anything... just reply to some threads.
