I, unfortunately, am the one who drove Leigh off, by making a very snide comment on something he had posted. I did apologize, but I think the damage had been done...I sure do regret that, as I found Leigh to be one of the best whatiffer's around, and a real great source of information.  Reason to think twice before hitting the "post" button. :(

I find that hard to believe - Leigh was one of the coolest guys ever.  I can't believe he would leave over something someone said, it just doesn't seem his nature.  He was active on BM for a while, but he's been MIA there for a while too :(

Well, you would have to go back and read a lot of comments that I have deleted. Suffice to say, I was a royal prick, and seriously spoke far outside my boundaries.  I would give just about anything to have Leigh back on the boards, he was always a great inspiration to me.
