With most things, the drama seems more significant as it happens than afterwards. There are always people who play things up a bit, as if life isn't entertaining enough as is, but I find those people often are the ones who force or fake most of the emotion in their lives.

So, yeah, you probably missed something of worth; but it was only worthwhile because it was happening then. Retelling it, except for a one-sentence blurb titillating enough to elicit a 'heh' but not enough for a reading of dusty threads, would be a waste. Histories of online communities, even well-established and long-lived ones such as this, are ultimately fairly ephemeral and pointless, best left to the minds of the members.

The inside jokes are better that way, after all.

So, welcome back?

Nah, didn't miss a thing. Same old, same old. LJ's gone though, in case you weren't around for that. I'm his new replacement.

Holy Shit Mari, I didn't even notice your post count till now. You really are LJ's replacement.

Welcome back Blue. You coming back gives me hope that HP will once again grace us with his presence. He keeps saying he has missed too much to want to come back. Maybe I can convince him to relearn the cellar with you.

What happened to LJ? I noticed he stopped posting, I assumed it was just the new job.

That's all I meant - gone from the board, not gone from this earth or something unless Jinx has the body stashed in the freezer which I doubt.

LJ's having a greed attack.
I imagine he's got his hands full in such a a high profile/pressure job. Trying to perform as expected while covering his ass against the people that are resentful/jealous of an outsider coming into the position they wanted (but probably couldn't handle if they had it). Then trying to maintain a family life, wonder if the job change will be right in retrospect, mow the lawn and spend time with the kids and Jinx.

Of course the biggest reason is he doesn't want to hear about the Dallas Cowgirls getting there ass kicked every week, for the next 4 months.

What exciting adventures were you up to?

Dude, I just want to say that if I said anything to tick you off or give you the idea that you shouldn't be here, I didn't mean to at all.
