::: Runs in late ::: Sorry I’m late. Stupid worms (in my 'puter, not me). 😃 I should have known that my favorite **lel** would always make me feel included. Thank you sweetie! She likes me, she really likes me!! 😉 I came through a link too, on another thread. To add to members, how about (to name a few)… **glarGH** **jsgoddess** **Manda Jo** **Lucki Chaarms** **Libertarian** **5U1C1D3** **Blalron** And has anyone mentioned **Polycarp** yet and I just missed it? Sorry for any repeats. I’m just SO happy to have my computer back. Yippee!!! Now I just have four thousand emails and messages to wade through. First some SDing though. Gotta keep one’s priorities straight. ---

Guilty… What did I do? Seeing **Kal’s** name mentioned, must say that due to it being only 3 letters, one can’t do a vanity search - IIRC. Where are **Hugh Jass** and **Lurkmeister**? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by as\_u\_wish \* > **BuckleberryFerry** I’m such an attention hog. I did a vanity search to see if anyone’s pitted me yet (no, thank God). I saw this and said "What the…when did I post to that thread, and what on Earth could I have said that would lead someone to quote or mention me. So hi, folks. Didn’t read the thread; I just scanned for my name in red, so I’ll nominate…oh, say… **Monstre** and **Q.E.D.** , though I’m sure they’ve been here already. ---

Damn, I may be slow and unsure, but…wait how’s that go again. Somebody here looking for me? Well, I was looking for **December** but apparently he’s not here either. How about **LolaCocaCola** my favorite sweetheart…give her time she’ll show up. Yeah, I’m guilty…had to know if anyone was talkin’ bad about me. Hey, it’s better than being ignored completely. **Unca Cecil** is supposed to be here tomorrow I think. So everybody be on your toes. 🙂 He’s gonna do a little ignorance smiting. ('bout damned time) I just thought about **Manny** has anybody seen **Manhattan** at this party? ---

Well, I was looking for **December** but apparently he’s not here either. \*\* I’d be mightily surprised if **december** shows up; the last I checked he’d been banned. Rumor has it that **Reeder** is the “new **december** ”, though. I’ll also invite **nisosbar** in, and note that I misspelled **Krillian** in a previous mention. ---

Hello. Found this on the first vanity search I’ve done since…April? May? I dunno. I don’t post often enough to be mentioned much lately (except by the winsome **Francesca** ), and ever since two years ago every time I search on “hama\*” I get nothing but links to debates about the Hamas. Which isn’t me. Nor am I them. There’s no one I want to call out, but has **glarGH** (as mentioned by **hopefool** ) been around lately? I was just thinking about her a couple of days ago. She tends to bring the funny. ---

I managed to unsubscribe to all my freaking threads for about the 10th time! I did a vanity search to help find them and imagine my surprise 🙂 ---

I figured if it got to four pages by now, it was worth looking at. Nobody knows me, though, so I’ve never done a vanity search. _anonymous mle_ ---

So, as I’m not going to go read the last four pages, was the accounting question answered? ---
