well i haven't been around in a while as i had a pretty scary brush with the dark side in the shape of a perforated duodenal ulcer which led led to me nearly bleeding out on our bathroom floor and losing over half my blood and needing emergency surgery.
I had a long stay in hospital and have had a lengthy recovery with post-operative complications etc etc etc. Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnyyyyyway as i have some friends here who haven't heard from me in a while i wanted to pop by and say what's happened and that i have not dropped off the face of the planet,lol.
In the meantime i see little has changed-the sterling editing and preservation work continues,the politics thread goes round in ever decreasing circles and skyjedi's bitterness grows unabated ,lol, so it's good to be back in other words.
