Yup – and I wanted to share this all with you (ooo-ooo-ooo… is anyone here?) This is the world premiere of my new signature.

Tada!

Hmmph! I see no one thanked poor, overworked **Q.E.D.** for actually searching for and _finding_ the ‘a’ thread. 😛

Thank you for searching up and find the ‘a’ thread, **Q.E.D.**

I suppose that this is not the time or place to say that I emailed Coldfire begging him to close the “a” thread? 😃

…d&r…

_checks forum_  
Yup I was right…  
Mods, mods, I am being slandered!

Come see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help I’m being repressed!

Sorry, got a little preoccupied with the signature thing, forgot to respond to a couple of posters.

Thank you, **Q.E.D.** for finding the thread. [/dutiful sing-song]

**SBS** – _love_ the idea of the “so, here’s what happened” thread! I will sometimes wonder what happened to someone – remember the guy who wanted to do drag for his girlfriend? – but don’t always bother to find the thread and ask. Usually don’t, in fact, unless it’s something that I’m invested in (I’m thinking of **FairyChatMom** ’s query about cleaning old needlework).

So what _did_ happen on the overtime thing?

(BTW, I think I’d just start a single thread in MPSIMS – but that’s the forum where I always start.)
