I’m back after a decade of sabbatical. Hi again. There’s one thing though, I recognise a number of your names – 10 years ago I would have known instantly if we were sympatico or not. Given that I have a more memorable (and quite frankly better) user name than most of you, would you be so kind as to remind me of our relationship status? love TGU ---

Have you really been gone all that time? I remember your name and would have thought you were a current poster. Must be getting you mixed up with **Ulf the Unwashed**. ---

Your name is indeed more memorable and so very much better than mine, but I a tread warily. If someone says I am “The Great Unwashed” I am not sure if I want you to know that I am single. As a matter of fact I may take your name as a challenge… ---

I remember your name – great name! – but couldn’t say anything at all about you. Been too long, I guess. Sorry! (Hell of a thing to say to a soul. “You must not have been very memorable.”) Ah, well: let’s take it as if a wholly new relationship. G’day, I’m Trinopus! Let’s be friends! ---

I haven’t the faintest - perhaps we should take a shortcut and assume either the best or the worst, and work from there? ---

We were virtual lovers. I was much more experimental ten years ago though. ---

I knew you when you were just dirty. No I didn’t. That’s a filthy lie. ---

I’m certain that we weren’t on **un** friendly terms. You probably wouldn’t remember me, but I won’t hold that against you. ---

So to summarise the results so far: BROADLY POSITIVE 2 BROADLY NEGATIVE 2 BROADLY MEH 6 BROADLY OWE BEER 1 Just like real life. ---
