I'm just back from a posting-vacation on DU...

[Khephra]

Forgive me the silly Lounge threads tonight....please.

:hi:

I've been going through withdrawal.

[Gingersnap]

1. welcome back!

were you driven away by the bickering candidate threads, or, gasp, did you actually leave your computer for an extended time? :P

[Khephra]

3. Both

I started DU when it was a family. I don't feel that the site is the same anymore. I hope it will change once the primaries are over, but I'm not holding my breath.

No matter what, I'll be posting (however occascionally) until I'm banned.

2. Okay. The good news first...

The Admin gave us two new toys for Christmas...spell check and "My Recent Posts".

The bad news: GD - 2004 is still a horrible, horrible place to even visit...briefly.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Welcome back good sir!

Good to see you around.

Happy New Year!

[Pobeka]

5. Welcome back

I believe the family is strong.

Truth survives.

And so does (nearly) useless threads, like my Hello DU thread (shameless thread promotion :) ).

In any case, glad to see you're back posting.

:hi:

7. More than a little PO'd about the state of DU

But I'm here. Admin will have to kick me off before I go. If nothing else, I'll just post in the Lounge and Meeting Room until the Primaries are over. I'm tired of hating DUers that I've considered friends.

8. Politics and religion will do that to the best of families...

we argue and squabble, but in the end, we're still family. After the primaries, and things calm down, it will get better in DU.

What we are lacking right now is focus; that's why I'm a lounge lizard too this last month.

Chill out for a bit, I know I have to as well.

:pals:

11. Errrrr...ummmm. I don't know what you are talking about.

(thanks! ;-) )

12. I've taken the same tack Keph.................

hit and run. I no longer spend most of my waking hours clowning around on DU like before. We sound like a couple of DU geezers, "I remember back in my day....." :hippie: Things are always going to change, they may not change for the better, but they'll change. Welcome back!

13. same here, kef.

Mine's been travel-enforced, though. It's actually been nice. One of my goals for this year is to spend less, but more productive, time here.

15. Welcome back.

I was waiting for you to chime in on my Battle Royale thread the other night. Did you see that movie?
