Welcome, Atrael! Discourse says this is the first time you’ve ever posted, FWIW.
My guess is that Atrael_OG is the same person who formerly posted as Atrael. A bunch of people created new accounts when they weren’t able to login to the their pre-Discourse account. It’s annoying, because it breaks their posting history.
Atrael’s last activity on the site was 11/11/11, so I can understand the reluctance to log in under that account and spoil things.
Yeah, I’m still breathing.
Every now and again, I go on a reading jag. I become invisible online while I fall into a pile of ebooks. There are several favorite authors who write series, and I end up addicted. Once the series stretches out 5-10 years, I lose track of some of the characters and the secondary story lines. Well, Kindle and Amazon make it oh-so-easy to collect the ebooks in one place, so I can start at the beginning and read them again. I just did that with Jonathan Kellerman’s books (he’s written what, 37, 38?), and now I’m afraid I am doing the same thing with Patricia Cornwell’s books.
In real life, I’m so glad Christmas is over! Here in SCal, we have rain, but it’s nothing like Central Cal and all points north. We watch the news every night, and the horrors and misery of the rest of the US make us so thankful we are not there. Stay safe and warm, Dopers! After I overdose on my ebook reading, I’ll be back!
I mean, I have to! I love this place!

I hope this the right place to ask…
I was thinking about a thread Blake was in years and realized I hadn’t seen his name in a while. I’m probably the last one to know, but why has he stopped posting?

There is a thread for this, let me find it.
This one ?
Thank you, What_Exit, appreciated.
This would be correct. And since the email service I used for that account actually no longer exists, I can’t do the ‘reset password’ options. From the sounds of it, the site admins are pretty good about helping people get into old accounts, but I didn’t realize that until I’d already made this one.
You probably want to @Blake directly. Maybe they will see the direct mention.
I want to say that the original riddle came from a game a bunch of us played way back when called Pyroto Mountain.. If I remember right, you had to answer riddles to advance a level ‘up’ the mountain and this was one of them. But it’s been long enough ago that I could be mixing it with something else.
I wish you the best in your recovery.
So sorry to hear this. I’m glad you’re improving.
I would also like to know. I remember him as a strong adovocate for the disabled. I miss him.
Hello to everyone. I will try to stick around.

I haven’t seen posts from SpiceWeasel lately.
@Spice_Weasel takes long breaks when she needs them, and she’s much missed when she does. Hopefully we’ll get her back soon!
Many thanks! I’m continuing with chemotherapy and hoping for eventual good news.
I looked at some of the posters I miss. Some of them were banned like Slicedalone and I understood the moderators’ reasons. He sometimes seemed to involve himself too deeply. In real life, i’m similar in tending to start things impulsively so really end up strapping my arms to the board.
@Quasimodem popped into my mind today. I looked at his blog on blogger.com, and he posted two days ago. Unfortunately, comments and email on that website have never worked for me.
Hi!
Oops, post must be at least five characters, I hope this is enough
