What’s the member title “posting sabbatical” that I see under a few people’s names? Does that mean they’ve paid, but have delayed the start of their subscription, or what? Also, when are we getting back our smilies? ---

As far as I know, the posters with posting sabbatical under their names have asked for their posting priveleges to be removed for a while due to the SDMB taking up too much time or other personal reasons. I am not a mod, but I’m sure one will be along shortly to either confirm or deny my above statement. ---
