derekullo Add the jettisoned gym-goer back to the class! I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. The person I removed is gone from the waitlist … forever … and I have no way to restore them. What's the problem? I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do Your health is much too important for me to allow another person to jeopardize it. You will be in next Tuesday's gym class! Reply
