Couldn’t help it, the Shakespeare thread forces me to reconsider my intransigence. So, for one year (we’ll see about another one when the time comes), I pay and post.
Shoulda just stopped reading the message board, I suppose. :wally
When I finally win the lottery, the first thing I’m gonna do is pay everybody’s membership fees for life.
Welcome back!
Welcome back!

Hey, I TRIED closing my eyes… 
We are better off with you, even if this is a hard addction to break.
wow, you and me on the same day.
Oh, my! ALL the little chickens are coming home to roost! How exciting. Welcome back, guys. Some names change, there are strange little ads, butit’s all the same.
Hehehe, good God, what are the odds? 
Hi, I’m new and I don’t know you, but I envy you because you found a way to use the Putz smilie.
Yours was probably the biggest loss the board took in the free-to-pay move, and I am VERY glad to see you back!
[Kotter theme song]Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back…[/Kotter theme song]
Also, I join the comments of my learned friend, Bricker.
Good. Very good. Bloody hard to give up, isn’t it?
Two years in a row I have said, “Why should I pay for this?” There are other message boards. However, they are not as addictive as this place. Welcome back!
Thank-you, one and all. I’ll try to be somewhat less curmudgeonly than I have been in past incarnations. If I fail, please simply beat on me with Wallys.
