Wow, look at all the new (and older but new again) faces.

We’re gonna need more goats.

Wheee! I’m back!!!

I wonder what the status of “was a paying member but who’s subscription ran out at the same time as they told us it would go free” will be?

Glad to be back, anyhow - I was getting tired of biting my tongue.

I’m “back” too… although I will probably continue to mostly lurk. Not like I said much back in the day, either. It seems like it was a lifetime ago when I last posted!

I waited until free posting to register. Now that I’m just a “guest” anyway, I wonder why I waited all this time (been lurking off and on for a few years now). Oh well.

> Yep, I can post too. But when I click the “reply” button it functions like a quote button. I’ve got so many things to say…

It will do that. The little “reply” button at the bottom right of a post will function as a “quote” button. Yes, that used to confuse lots of us too. 🙂

The “POST REPLY” button at the bottom left of the page will give you a reply window without quoting anything.

And welcome, all new people or lurkers. 🙂
