Damn Straight! All involved deserve a huge thank you! This is more proof that the people who run this place do really care about it. They could have easily taken a couple of weeks off, and no one could have said a word. Instead, they set up an alternative, took the time to learn new software so they could set it up and moderate it, and even fronted the money themselves. Add my heart felt thanks to the pile. Ugly ---

Yes, many thanks to Tuba, Lynn, and all the mods and Admins (except Coldfire… well, okay, Coldfire too). A billion thanks to Jerry, our Tech God, to whom I am currently sacrificing many young children - I mean, goats - to. Man, it’s good to be back. The Spacebattles forum is fun and all, but there’s only so much of it I can take. And the Unaboard, while nice in its own right, just doesn’t have the volume that I crave at the SDMB. ---

Applause! Applause! And above all a special thanks to **TubaDiva** for giving us a home away from home. If you’re ever in this part of the world, **Tuba** , come on over; there’s a big sticky layer cake with your name on it. ---
