Thanks, I'm glad that some share the same views as me. Don't get me wrong,
LUGNET is still doing a great job and is THE place for AFOLs to talk, but I
can't help but reminess (sp?) about the old days. Ya, it can be easy for a

you weren't totally overlooked. As John said, thanks to everyone who still
helps keep the community alive.
