Hello again, it’s been a long time. I last posted about two years ago. I stopped at about the time SD became a pay site. Until recently I didn’t have the time to read the boards much but I have been lurking on and off since I decided not to join in 2004. Back then I was using the name DeGrance. I never really had much of an attachment to that user name. I selected it when I thought SD was going to just be a passing fancy and didn’t give it much thought. So I am taking the opportunity of rejoining the boards to select a new user name. I wasn’t ever terribly active so I don’t know if anyone is around who even remembers me. It’s nice to be back though. ---

Welcome back. Make sure that you email TubaDiva or one of the other admins and get the name change taken care of officially. It would be a shame to have you banned for multiple user names before you have a chance to contribute to the boards here. ---

[/QUOTE] :smack: Then again, looking at your user info, I can see that you have already done this. Sorry. I should know better by now than to make unwarranted assumptions. Again, welcome back to the boards. ---

Welcome back, **Pábitel**! I’m sure you will find it comfortable here. 🙂 [sub] **twickster** , do you think it’s a good idea to mention ‘Hotel California’ already? Do we want to spook the returning member so soon?[/sub]
