that truth troubles me as much as anyone. but, there you have it.

Ahh, for the good old days, when we were all young and bitey. I look
back in fondness at the many hours, days, and weeks of wasted time
here - ****ing contests with Gherke, attempts to have a civil
conversation with Mo Skeeter and later RDean, and real, true
friendships forged and forgotten. Flame wars, nastiness, the
anonymous trolls, hilarity, wit and actual useful information, shared
flies, lies, and ryes - it was all good, but probably better gone and
buried in the archives. It was fun while it lasted. We should never
have let the AOL and WebTV crowd in the back doorg. I feel lucky to
have met a lot of the old gang, some of whom I still count as friends,
even though I haven't seen them in ages, and may never again.

Hope we meet again some day wayno, on a stream, or just near one.

Who are you, and what have you done with Stan?
