Gosh well hello to all the Teeming Millions and all you Dopers out there. I last was here in 2004 just before the paid subscriptions. So what happened to them anyway? And now are there many things different about this message board now then?

So there’s three things I’d like to say

1. It’s great to be back of course.
2. I really have missed a lot of people for sure.
3. Hi, Opal!

Welcome back.

FYI item #3 of your list is, sadly, no longer necessary.

Regards,

Lots of high profile posters from that era gone. Deaths, bannings, or just not posting any more.

Pie is all gone, bring any?

Sometimes happy memories are better left undisturbed.

Like googleing an old love’s name and find an obit of a most unpleasant kind.

But it’s still every bit as hilarious as it was 10 (or more) years ago.
