Dayv is someone I respect and enjoy talking with. I consider him a friend, and if he leaves I'll miss him. I'm sure we'll still converse via e-mail and possibly 'elsewhere', but OT.com is and always will be my online home and it will be a great shame if Dayv or anyone else started jumping ship. Surely this can be settled amicably without anyone feeling they have to stop being a member of the OT.com community.
I would rather have Dayv here rarely than not at all.
