I am with you on this one LMo. Nobody should ask permission to anyone here to come back and nobody should feel embarasse to come back.

The only thing though is that it is sometime nice to know that people will leave for a short period of time so we will not all worry that something bad has happened to this person. So, I know that for myself I have already done this before, just posted a short message to say that I was leaving for a short period of time and that I will be back when I can.

I don't know maybe it is just the way I think. Anyway this is a nice thread.
