No...I was expecting more of a "Sorry man...I won't be able to make it." I'm not mad that you're not coming. But your reply was rather blunt and fit in with the tone of your recent posts, which concerned me.

Glad you're back, B.

Welcome back, Bruce.

You're speaking in past tense. I hope whatever the bad thing was, it's completely behind you.

Welcome back. :)

I'm hoping, Glatt. Seems to be.

You want me to say I'm sorry I can't watch you screw up that lovely lady's life?

???

Hi Bruce. I was thinking over the weekend that you hadn't checked in for a while.

Hope you are OK! You're a good egg.

See, that's what happens when you can't log on regularly (me I mean).
You read with an open mouth for 5 pages that Bruce has gone and taken his posts (and other people's) with him, and then by the end he's back, the post deletion was a mistake and all is well.

I don't know whether to be pleased that it's not the disaster I thought it was, or peeved that I'll never get that 5 minutes back.

Glad you're back Bruce - I hope that whatever the problem was you have come through it as unscathed as possible and that it hasn't hurt anyone you care about. I think you're one of the Dwellars that makes this place worth logging onto, and it would be a poorer place without you.

Bruce is not just a good egg, he's the best egg.

I will be trying to restore the dodads thread soon. It may not be possible because the attachments, I think, are separately stored in another table and thus are a serious pain in the ass. But I will try.

Thanks! If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Thanks for trying.

Just want you to know that I am glad you are back, and that whatever life threw at you is now over.

Party on, dude.

Thanks all.

let me be the first to call you a cock.


you cock.

Welcome back man.

I enthusiastically second this motion, too!
