**Imthecowgodmoo** was a lot of fun! I seem to recall… **Papabear**? Yes? No? ---

Well, all it takes is a search - **ChiefScott** posted on July1 about a TV show he was watching - so I’m guessing he’s not at war, nor is he long lost. Never mind. ---

Call me ignorant, but what`s the connection/attraction with LJ and many members of the SDMB? Why do members do both or switch back and forth? and do members here use the same username there? ---

Can i just ask: does no-one know how to use the search function on this Board? For example, a few people have asked about **Duck Duck Goose** , yet a quick search shows that **DDG** has participated in 462 threads over the last six months, and made her last post only a week ago. Hardly AWOL! ---

This board has gotten so big, I don’t know that many people here any more and it has a very different feel from when I started. Plus, a few folks I know from the boards don’t post here at all any more but are on LJ. Since I mostly participate in the “social” fora here, LJ works well for me. Those who are more GQ/GD oriented may not enjoy it so much. Most folks use the same username or a variation of it (geobabe was already taken when I signed up for LJ, so my LJ name is geobabe1) though a few use completely different names. ---

I haven’t seen **Horselover pravnik** around for a while, but I got a phone call from him the other day. He’s in Japan. ---

**Duck Duck Goose** posted on 8/24/03, so she hasn’t gone AWOL. 😃 ---

**oldscratch** is indeed alive and well and living in GA or was last I heard a few months ago. He works a lot and plays a lot and doesn’t have his own computer, hence the long absence. ---
