There was also the desire to keep Hubble working as much as possible.
It can't do that on the ground waiting for a Shuttle relaunch a year
later (and hoping the schedule holds). With on-orbit servicing, Hubble
is back at work a month later at most.

I've emailed NASA's Hubble website to find out the main reason why the return option was ditched.

Gee, Pat. Don't you believe anything that well-informed (and
well-intentioned) colleagues pass on to you? ;-)
