> Whoops. I had meant to do this, as I had
noticed The_Scotsman's long absence
(although I hadn't realized just how long--you
have been in chat once or twice in that time,
haevn't you?) but I kinda forgot. Anyway, now
I'm just posting to agree with Grishny.
Welcome back. :-)

He has been in chat on and off since then, but
his most recent absence from either was due
to the fact that his computer's motherboard
had to be replaced, and it took over a month, I
think. Then he had to get a new modem
because his old one wasn't compatible with
the new motherboard. So last night was his
first time on-line with his brand new
motherboard and modem. And on Windows
XP now, to boot.

How do I know all this? We had lunch with him
this afternoon. :o)
