[QUOTE=Chef Troy] It’s been long enough that my name probably isn’t familiar to anyone anymore, but it’s good to be back (even though the board is calling me a “guest” - not that I care). [/QUOTE] I remember ya from those days! 😃 I see some names I know and some new ones. I wonder who remembers me? (I know Sublight does, as I ran into him elsewhere online.) ---

To be honest, I’m slightly embarrassed to be back, as I first joined when I was an 18-year-old freshman college student, with all of the poor posting judgment that entails. Thank god I’m now a clever grown-up with worldly experience and \excellent\ judgment! Phew! I’ve graduated and am living in London, working as a magazine sub-editor by day and playing Irish/Scottish traditional music in pubs by night. Mostly. Some times I just sit at home and watch Doctor Who, or sleep, but not usually. Hi everyone! 😃 ---

I let my subscription lapse, confident free posting would come. It’s all going according to plan. ---

**Java** and **Morphy** and **twisty** oh my! I more or less veered away from here after the Winter of our Missed Content, but recently returned. I think I’ve posted like 10x in the past 5 years. Good to see a bunch of you old faces back. 🙂 ---

I remember some of the unsubscribed posters in here ( **Frodo** , **Mauvaise** , **Tracy Lord** and **Twisty** specifically). It’s good to see the old “guests” get to post again, in this and other threads. In regards to **Tracy** ’s post about posting as an immature college freshman, believe me, I can relate. The great thing about the 'Dope, however, is that simply lurking here has helped me mature into a more logical and forward-thinking person. So, I guess (some) ignorance was fought on this front. Anyway, just posting because I can. Howdy, y’all! ETA: I remember **DocCathode** pretty well, also. ---

I’m wondering if some of these posters even know who I am - or are thinking “they made a mod out of THAT GUY?” It could be just me, but I guess that most of us non-subscribers are long-time lurkers. Myself, I’ve been here pretty much daily since sometime in '01 or '02. Thus, I was shocked that you earned your jackboots some time ago 😉 Edited to fix spelling. I _like_ this edit feature! ---
