I do not want anyone to think I am asking anyone to join with me. I LOVE PC and will stay and if I can only do one, will go with PC.
I know when one person left PC for another company she tried to get people off here to go with her and I do not want to be MISTAKENED to be doing that at all!!!
I will be glad to post it here as long as I know I can.
I have pm'd those that have asked b/c I know they know me well enough to know that is not what I am doing.

I wouldn't. Those of us who know you - know that you aren't self-promoting, but there will be someone who will make a stink out of it. I think you'll either have to pm everyone who asks or just delete this thread all together so you don't get bombarded with 'tell-me-too' requests.

I do not want to keep answering for fear someone will misinterpret my meaning and think I am recruiting or something.
I am in the "thinking" stage and I have lots of other things going on right now that it will be a while before I even decide.
Thanks for everyone's interest though.
Please, no one take this the wrong way.
