[Rockhounds] Axel's back!!!!

[Axel Emmermann]

Thank you Ted!
As I said earlier, I'm still here so all of you who prayed (thus saving my
life): I'm now your responsibility and you must all provide for me as long
as I live.... Wait a minute... Hold on...
Oh, my daughter just informed me that this is exclusively a Chinese custom.
If you save somebody he or she becomes your responsibility.
Darn, I thought my ship came in ;-))))

Nice as it feels to be recognized and missed, I can't keep answering all
your mails without cluttering the rockhounds traffic. 
Thank you all for the sympathy and concern and prayers etc....
Still, we need to get back to business and rockhound.

Thank you all again
Gratefully yours
Axel
