## During my exile, because the SDMB & WebTv were incompatable, I seldom visited here as it was too painful to be unable to reply to the posts. With the latest upgrade I can again post & reply. But it seems that many of my favorite posters are missing! What happened? I hope that they are on vacation and will return soon! I do enjoy most of the newer members, but miss many that I can’t find. What’s Up?

Carl

**for tomorrow we may loose our cable!**

Sign up on the Master List for Newbies, and you can get into a whole new page of the yearbook.

Or you can sit back here with me, emptying the keg until your auld friends join you. Pass the pretzels.

Welcome back, Zymurgist. I dunno where your favorite posters are. Who are they?

Oncle Bière, I suggest you check these numbers for Carl.

Hardly what I’d call a “newbie.” And I still wish you’d email TubaDiva and change that fucking screen name.

Welcome back, Carl. I’m not sure which posters you’re refering to, but this board has defenatly gone through some changes in your absense.

Truth be told, it seems to be better overall.

Howdy Carl. The board has undergone some pretty major growth, but keep in mind about half of the registered users are fake names. Quite a few regs have disappeared recently. As always, a big old bunch of new posters have dropped in and picked up whatever slack may have been here.
