I have expressed my personal regrets to Jan via personal email... He has not responded. And yes, he personally deleted the contents of all of his posts since we changed formats.
I agree with all who have expressed regrets at Jan's decision to leave... There is no way to make up for the damage this incident caused. Does anyone see any difference in the type of behavior from that which has been displayed by the Washington DC sniper... No regard for the lives and feelings of others.
How unfortunate for the majority of the members of this forum that one member who took pride in an ungentlemanly and arrogant comment has precipitated the greatest loss this forum has experienced since it was founded in 1998.
I seriously doubt if a public apology to Jan by the party responsible would change his mind about self imposed exile now, but I hope Heydrich is man enough to apologize publicly and that Jan will be gracious enough to accept.
This is indeed a sad day in OUR Forum's history.
