Some thieving bugger scarpered with my brain a while back so I am completely unable to make my user name halloweenised - also I now have a great desire give all all money to a Nigerian prince but first I must go and be injected with some colloidal silver. ---

Please ignore all posts made by people whose usernames seem to be…under the weather. They may be experiencing delusions that are making them appear and post certain ways. Please know that there is STILL no reason to panic however…the best workers are on the board working all hours to contain…er…did I type contain? I meant CALM the masses down. **There IS no problem, disease, or outbreak slowly spreading via PMs or any other means of the board.** Not one at all—and certainly not one that will probably affect most everyone and anyone by the time Halloween gets here. No sir/ma’am—everyone is SAFE. ---
