Dear Fools,

I would like you all to know how much I appreciate all the support I have gotten from you all over the last two weeks. I do miss most of you over here on the Motley Fool Boards. Bogey has let me know that he would like to have both JPS and me return to the Fool, and I for one want to do whatever is reasonable to return to the Fool myself. I have missed you guys.

In that light, I would like to note publicly that I did not and do not believe that jeanpaulsartre plagiarized his post on the Atheist Fools board, and I feel badly that my comment regarding said post was the jumping off point for a lot of criticism.

Also I agree with Bogey that this whole situation has been blown way out of proportion. Slinging mud back and forth between individuals or between groups on boards is clearly not productive. I have never supported “board wars” and will not support them in the future. This whole thing has been pretty silly.
