 I've been on and off the forum for the past year.
 I enjoy reading Simon's posts. I also enjoyed reading his photography 
 column when it was available.  It breaks the monotony of what could be a 
 dry subject. This is one of three or four forums that I subscribe to and I 
 have to say that it beats the "back stabbing I'm better than you are" posts 
 on some of the others.

I would like to read simon's photography column, are there copies anywhere?  
I would also like to see his work.  and i like his simon says routine.  it's 
an irresistable gimick.  i would certainly use it if my name were simon.  and 
it fits his strong personality.  i disagree with amanda on that issue.  
wilson pickett declares " i'm a man and a half and its that half that 
gets them. "  absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be immortal, but 
i would like to see him immortalized first for his panoramas, not his 
brutality 
even if it is a reaction to the brutality of others.  when someone bigger 
than 
life reacts brutally to brutality it stifles all of us.  we all lose, 
including you 
simon.  you complain that everyone is boring, well?  what do you expect?
we all hide from you like little children.  some dare to come out from behind 
the trees to approach you, to pacify you, but lo and behold, you 
ggggrrrrooooowl again, and off we run again.  Amanda?  You remind me of 
my husband who owns a carpet cleaning business and growls at his men and 
expects them to growl back.  Please.   They're shivering in their boots and 
peeing their pants.  Come back softly, just once, just try it.  It will not 
diminish your powerful personality.  You do not have to stay there.  Rage at 
issues not people.  so says the muse.  come back.
