RIP, a name I’ve known, although rarely interacted with, since I joined in 2004. I know the site changes must have been stressful and I’ve tried my best not to complain and just accept them as they are. Sending prayers to all your friends and family. ---

Tuba Diva is the reason I started posting (I submitted a few Weird Earl sites and she wrote back very warmly - I bet I still have her note somewhere in the bowls of my email archives). I am really bummed.
