FWIW Dr. Howell, I too would LOVE to have him "come join us" here, I'd be VERY surprised if he was treated with anything but the utmost respect and admiration!
As for his leaving(if he decides) that would (as was said) be our HUGE loss;
My vote is PLEASE come on in to the "fire" Mr. Boddington!! We'd love to hear what you're working on, what your thoughts on everything are, etc. etc. etc. You are a very experienced writer, easy to read and understand, and IMHO very respected by most of us here!!
AND his service to our country is admired, so how could anyone NOT treat him well??? (Yes I know they're born every day(minute?) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
