I forget the reason, but I think it was something like moving or changing jobs, nothing bad. But don’t quote me on anything. My management has gotten rather inflexible in its attitudes about staff using the Internet for personal amusement. In my spare time, I’ve been knitting sweaters for Elisha Cuthbert. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chavardz \* > \*\*Mhendo: Try googling for melingate. Trouble is surely brewing. \*\* I already found it some time back, actually. To tell you the truth, i don’t understand why someone didn’t just link me to the appropriate thread before; if a thread is still on the Boards, why does it need to be discussed “off the boards”? Anyway, it wasn’t particularly shocking or salacious. Just another example of misunderstandings and incriminations run amok. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by vengeance and dust \* > \*\*So my question: anyone know where Anniz and Montfort went? > They got married right? Or do I have the names wrong? \*\* They did get married. They moved to Sweden in March of 2002, and are expecting a baby in September. They’re both active on LiveJournal, but I don’t think either posts here much (if at all) any more.
