Thanks, Chief. I appreciate your good words.

Mea culpa. Tuba's fallen down on the job. (In my defense, I pulled something in my back and have not been online much, gotta sit down to the computer, something that's been damn near impossible.) However, I hope to play catch up this weekend and perhaps we can persuade Cecil and Ed to continue.

your humble TubaDiva

I'd like to see it back, too, so here's my vote!

I'd love to see it back (heh) too, but take care of yourself first. We can go a week or two.

Just get better!

BTW, cmkeller asked the same thing in a topic here titled 'have we gotten boring', so that's another appreciative reader!

BTW, TD, when you do get back around to it, I'd like to nominate the 'Whole Nine Yards' thread from 'Cecil's Columns'.

Definitely a classic.

I'd like to cast my vote for the collomn as well.

But I'm more concerned that you back gets better .

You say "cheesy" like that's a BAD thing.

Sarcastic here much, Chief?

The idea behind Classic Threads is being reformulated; the powers that be have been never very happy with the name or the concept as it stands and believe it needs more work.

I'm still collecting stuff. The things y'all say and do is just too good to let pass into the ether, so when we figure out how best to present it, it's gonna all be back.

Want to be helpful? Send me links, not only to things here, but Weird Urls that you find in cyberspace. The more I have to draw from, the better it's gonna be.

And I appreciate everybody's comments on this subject.
