has become serious for me. I am very glad to hear that you have worked out your differences with Bob, Dinah. At the same time, there remain some important unaddressed questions for the rest of us, or at least for me. What caused the problem you had? I gather that it was new posting procedures which most of us don't know about. It seems strange to me that many of us on this site have been kept completely in the dark about these new procedures, about why you felt you had to leave, and, now, about why it is possible for you to return.
This has now gone far beyond you, Dinah. Because Bob has not responded to repeated requests for information, there has been a huge lost of trust and confidence in Babble on the part of many long-time posters. If there is never going to be an informative, mutually respectful clearing of the air, it could easily happen that, even as you are feeling able to return safely, many of the rest of us will never be able to feel that way, and will disappear permanently. You have probably noticed that very little posting is going on now: people just don't have the heart to do it any longer.
