I wanted a unsername that described me better, so I tried to register with **Master Moron Colossal Idiot Mr. Dumbass McStupid**. **Skip** decided that was too long, so I went with the standard abbreviation. ---

The reason I have been AWOL from the dope is that I lost my job. I’m sorry to hear that, **verbenabeast**. I hope that the job search is giving you some hope here–or will soon at least. I know it’s tough looking for a new job, but I don’t doubt that you’ll succeed. And it’s great to have you as a member. 🙂 ---
