Never left.
I yet endure.
You’re back! I was just musing about the good old days the other day. It was that or clean the oven. Anyway, you definitely appeared in my memories, Diane. You were right out there in being outspoken and it was very cool. Or so my memory informs me.
Huh? Who? Anybody know whatever happened to Diane?
Charter member since the 20th century; still here.
I’m still here. But enough about me; how are you? I seem to recall when you were here before things were…not as good as they might have been. Better now, I take it? 
Do I ring a bell? I am a Charter Member, but due to bugs in the upgrade I’ve been temporarily demoted.
YOU’VE been demoted? I’m a friggin GUEST around here.
Hey, Diane.
I don’t know if you remember me or not? I am not a 99er, but I’ve been around a while.
I think I am still here.
Hello.
I’m not here anymore. This post is an illusion.
The Dude abides…
Pshaw… At first, I thought you were irreplaceable, but now, I’ve come to appreciate Rebecca as every bit as good or even better.
I am still around. I just lurk a great deal more than post.
Osip
Feisty, foulmouthed and funny. I remember you, Diane.

It is great to see so many familiar names! 
Yeah QED, I wasn’t that great when I left. I had just been diagnosed with a brain tumor and wasn’t really sure what was going to happen to me. Three brain surgeries, radiation, and continued monthly stabs later (not injections, but STABS to the butt - deep tissue, thick gel medication, huge needle - OWIE! ), and I am almost good as new. Until the remaining inoperable tumor dies, I will have to have these shots. I am okay with it though, it keeps me alive. My condition is so rare that Stanford periodically meets with the U of U Medical Center to study my case. I am a freak of nature. HA! Too bad I wasted my odds on medical junk instead of winning the lottery.
Work is good. Still working for the Dept of Veterans Affairs. I got a new job/promotion a year and a half ago and love it! Problem is, is that thanks to the war I have a LOT of job security (translation: Overtime and not a lot of play time).
All in all, life is good.
So what has been going on with all of you?
Hey! I am still a Chartered Member? That’s cool! Sorry about the GUEST thing Bill, you’re still groovy to me. 
I’m still here, haven’t left since before we hit the web!
