Yowza. Everything okay?

I hope you'll be including me in your friends filter. =)

Everything is just fine with me, thanks for the concern.

I think your decision is a wise one, considering your plans to continue in the academic field.

I wouldn't dream of cutting you out!

Everyone who's already in is still in. It's just new people who have to comment and ask to be added. I hate to have to do it this way, but with HR people and others getting more and more invasive into people's personal lives, this is how it has to be.
