I've been following an X-men Forever thread over on comixfan. It seems to be the only place Chris Claremont posts. Sure enough, your name popped up. Any thoughts on the following that was posted on comixfan?

Dear Kevin --
Alan would, of course, be totally wonderful. I'll never even hesitate when it comes to a chance to work with him -- but for what it's worth, I believe he's happily focused on his own projects at the moment. Which I, as both reader and (sigh) fan, can't wait to read.
I have always rated Chris as the best writer I ever worked with and would be always be happy to work with him. The reason our partnerships haven’t lasted longer or been more frequent has been due to external circumstance. Primarily deadlines and delays. I love working in comics BUT it isn’t my life so as soon as work starts to interfere with family time it becomes a problem.
For me, the best writer for the Alan Davis works is certainly...Alan Davis.
Ok, it was a long time ago, but see what append to Excalibur when Chris Claremont was the only one on board...
It's a great writer, but sometime he lose is focus.
