Nah, it wasn't really aimed at any one person in particular and "bailed" was probably a poor choice on my part; maybe because it was the most recently used. I "quoted" it to indicate the inclusion of similar words (i.e., walked, deserted, abandoned, ditched, etc.). The comment was directed toward those who repeat the same thought almost every time they post - as if anyone who's reading this doesn't already know that the reason Richie's not on tour is because he didn't show up in Calgary and hasn't been at any show since; as if that alone should explain everything. Their record is as badly broken as Rolo's is - scratched with the same deep needle-hanging groove!

I don't think anyone (those people included) would still be reading and posting 1000+ pages in, if they truly believed it was really that simple. We know he walked - we just don't know why (even now, as far as I'm concerned). The answers from everyone involved have been either confusing (at best), partial and 'politically' correct (understandable, if things are still being worked out), or downright deception (inexcusable).

In hindsight, my comment was snarky to begin with and I probably should have edited right there, because I didn't really mean to offend, I was just venting my frustration - with the people who post and, I realize now, the whole freakin' situation.
