Default Over 13 years away from here, huh? Didn't think it was that long!

Hi, all. My account shows my last visit was in March of 2011 so I guess it has been a while. I hope you have all been well! I really needed you guys many years ago when we moved to the middle of the USA and my lack of religion branded me in a way I didn't expect. I sure learned a lot and felt very welcome and, for that, I thank you.

I'll browse around and see what's been going on and maybe join in some conversations!

Welcome back, Javaman! We have a couple of knuckleheads hanging around right now. You can ignore them if they get to you.

Thanks, Crumb! There were always shite-stirrers but I'm sure it'll be fine. At some level, they can be entertaining I suppose. :yup:

Hey Javaman, welcome back! I like hearing that the :ff: has had a somewhat positive impact in someone's life, however small. I like to think the creation of this website* is a mark in the plus column when the final tally of my life is calculated.


*and I do mean the creation of the website itself, i.e. the deployment and maintenance of the software. The real heart of the :ff: is of course the aggregate of the participant contributions.

The real heart of the :ff: is of course the roman numeral post counts. And the smilie search.

Same. I received a birthday email or something at some point. I never unsubscribed but just kept deleting them. Then finally I received one and got curious so I logged on lol.
