Welcome Mark and you are spot on. I think often of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart and the infamous line..."cuz you can't lose a friend you never had...". Many wander away out of fear how to respond when no response was really necessary.

Rock on or play on or whatever you do...just keep in keeping on. I want to call you Mr T but then my mind wanders to "come here woman, let me put my tongue down your throat..." and that might be construed as too sick to be funny. Fasten your seat belt...the road may get bumpy but you have found some new friends and when they say I feel your pain...they ain't kidding!
