  Welcome back Eric. We've missed you (seriously).

  I've already responded to Eric privately and
apologized for any hurt I inflicted but also to
explain my side of the story. So I won't bore the
rest of you with most of it.

  But I did make a comment a while back about
getting a thousand dollar deposit from Eric before
letting him in the folio. I was frustrated (by the
lack of responses from him) and was making a feeble
attempt to be funny. I publicly (sp?) apologize
for hurting Eric with this comment and any others
I made during the folio stall.

   I think Eric is a major asset to our folio since
his comments are very insightful and come from a
different viewpoint (film professional) than the
rest of us.

>(BTW I still don't know how I wound up with two folios)

  The second one (6A) caught up with the first
one (5B) due to the stall.

  In February I emailed Paul saying "still haven't
heard from Eric so maybe we should bypass him
with 6A". But he had already mailed it to you.
I immediately emailed you a warning that it was
coming and asked you to just send it on, unopened.

  If anyone else wants to discuss it further
I'm open too.
