[vcf-midatlantic] Moving forward

[Dean Notarnicola]

Pete,
I'm sorry for that. This discussion has become counter-productive and in
the interest of everyone's sensibilities, we should mute this discussion.
Everything that needs to be said has been said. I thank everyone for
their opinions and their patience. As everyone knows, this is not the norm
here. Time to move on.

Regards,
Dean
