Yes I support Bern as she was/is such an informed poster and this site will not be as interesting without her.
It is very clear Keith and also Reg hold the opposite opinion and are glad there is one less person to challenge their view of life. Having said that Keith is always telling us he values all opinions and the right to voice them.
I have no idea whether Bern regrets her comments unlike some I have not read this other exchange only what has been reproduced on here. It would be nice to know exactly where the comments were made so we could all judge for ourselves.
