Glad to see that you are alive. I have not posted on dpr about your banning - I was too disgusted! While I don't agree with everything you have said over the year I have been on dpr, or anyone on dpr for that matter (if so it would be boring), I very much appreciate the fact that you, more than anyone, take the time to comment on others photos and have been so very encouraging of newbies, such as myself. The help and support you give to others will be sorely missed. And your sense of humour, even if it is from a Texan! I will be looking at other forums to see if you appear and will welcome you. By the way, your photos of birds are fabulous; you denigrate your ability too much. In that photo of your Pentax cupboard, I noticed that you had several framed bird photos on the wall, but none of any rodents that I could see!
