So, when can we expect your pic, Skribbler? Twisty: Shayna’s doing fine, she’s just very busy currently. I chat with her every now and then - she sure is a sweetie, and I’d love to see her post more as well. Maybe she will, if she finds the time. ---

Hey Shayna - good luck with the PC. Just remember that using them to test the speed of gravity isn’t a good idea, no matter how tempting! Techie, sorry to be a pain, but is mine one of the 16 to do, or do I need to resend it? Thanks. Skribbler - they’re right - when I went back & reread the message, it was fine, but the double XCUSE ME, the caps, the !!! all make it sound obnoxious. Yoiu have to be really careful by email/chat/bulletin board…you can’t send emotion except by what you type & how you type it. All caps usually means that you are shouting and bold isn’t much better… ---

just FYI, on a similar note, you can now update your profile on the TMHP (teeming millions homepage)… this feature has been disabled since january, but is now a fully automated system. [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/people](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/people) ---

After having been gone for a month, I didn’t know if y’all would even remember me. 😃 **Skribbler** , not to worry, my friend. I wasn’t offended. I just figured you were trying to get my attention - which you managed to accomplish quite well! 😉 **ssskuggiii** , I understood/understand your frustration since I had been out of communication so long. Don’t cut that gorgeous head off - the guys will be _really_ upset about that and I sure don’t want it on _my_ head! 😉 I just checked the uploaded pictures list and yours isn’t among them, so it must be one of the 16 that tc is working on to send to me in the next batch. We’ll let you know if we don’t have it. **Crunchy/Brat/Ron** , you’re the best. I’ll head over to that thread post haste after I finish my replies here. **Silo** , thanks for the welcome, dude. **mega** , you incredible sweetie, thanks for sticking up for me. What can I do for you in return - wash your dog, paint your house, what? You just name it, girlfriend, and I’m there. **Gunslinger** , yours must also be amongst the 16 tc will be sending me. If we don’t have it, we’ll let you know ASAP. **Monster104** , you crack me up! I was hoping _nobody’s_ pants were bloody. That would really be yucky! LOL (I owe you an email - I will get to that pronto, I promise!) **porcupine** , your pic must be in the soon-to-be uploaded batch as well. We’ll keep you posted. **techie!!** Thanks so much for helping me with this. I feel bad being so out of touch, but I’ll try to be better from now on. Things are insane, as always, just moreso. _sigh_ Oh well, life goes on, doesn’t it? TTYS, I promise. **dropzone** , you are just too kind. It’s nice to know I’m missed - especially by you! Now send that picture in ASAP so you can get on all the _other_ girls’ crush lists, ok?! **TwistofFate/John** - {{{{{HUGS}}}}} right back at ya, darlin’! (I had to figure out who you were - man, am I out of the loop, or what?) **MoldyFarts** , I just adore you, you know that? If I’m not careful, you might just be able to coax me out of my shell. _Then_ what would we do if I’m unleashed on these boards again? All hell might break loose, and who would we have to blame? Are you sure you’re ready for that? 😃 **fierra** , how wise you are! You have no idea how tempting it was to drop kick that piece-of-crap-excuse-for-a-computer from here to kingdom come (although all was fine with it until I had a tech friend open it up to install a 2nd hard drive - then **BOOM!** _sigh_). Your pic appears to be among the 16 awaited additions. We’ll let you know. **OpalCat** , this thread isn’t to or about you or your pages, but thanks for dropping in. ---

Yay! Shayna is back! : Does happy dance : Skribbler, if I’m not mistaken you also asked about the people pages in ATMB, to which I responded. [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40069) is the thread in question. ---

Welcome back Shayna!! You’re doing a great job with the People Pages! I’m sure you get to all these new pictures as time allows. I’m happy to see you back on the board. Don’t stay away so long next time. We’re all going to think you have a life away from the board. 😉 ---

I’m curious what it was about myself. I don’t see why Shayna was rude to me… but hey, if that is her thing, go for it. She can be that way. More power to her. And I can tell her where to stick it. I wasn’t the only one who found her comment rude. Until now I never knew our sites were “competing”… I thought they complimented each other. I was actually going to put a link to hers on mine. I made a quick post in this thread earlier because our two sites are related. Who knew she had a chip on her shoulder about it/me/whatever? Anyway… I’m pretty much done with her/her site/whatever. If you want to discuss it, email me. ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** Shayna, I think your comment was unnecessary. And OpalCat your response was a bit over the top. Let’s just everyone cool it. Okay? I think everyone appreciates all the work both of you have done. At least, I’d like to think so.
