Quote:Gerd, aka Guscha,

Is this a metamorphosis? By the words "Every end is also a new beginning" I hope so. But with the content of your posts wiped clean I think not. I'm somewhat taken back by your actions as it can tend to make a mockery of the many threads you contributed to.

Here are some words I penned earlier this evening in response to your PM to me yesterday and when I first saw evidence of the deletions in effect. I know your penchant for discretion in matters such as this but, irrespective of that, I don't want to hide my support for you and all you've done for PackardInfo over the last few years.

"That's the trouble as we've seen before. The written word just doesn't have the nuances face to face or audible conversation can convey. Consequently people can get upset with whats written because the inflections of meaning are lost. Doubly so for Gerd, with translation also a big factor. I must admit I'm not sure of some things he posts but because I "know" him make allowances at times. All that said if he's not going to be such a prolific poster the Site will be somewhat poorer. He continually amazes with the images he finds and the linkages he finds/makes between things."

I am reminded of a Shakesperian quote concerning the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

Gerd, If it's just a sabbatical fair enough. But if it's more than that we'll truely miss you.
