My fellow posters---
I just got in and here are all these posts that address me, talk about some kind of mud-wrestling debate with another poster's mother, quotes from Winston Churchill in another, and heaven knows what else.
And that is only this one Hot Topic line.
I think this is fun and all, and maybe it's a strategy to wear me out, but I do have quite a lot of other things to do. I will try to keep in touch, certainly for the mud-wrestling, but, the thing is, this week was exceptional. I could be online a lot because I was free of other obligations temporarily. I was working on my thesis on my lap-top and could check in on this site on the desk-top beside it fairly easily.
Usually I just can't be on line that much, which I'm sure will be heart-breaking for some, while others will be quick to take the credit for it.
Don't worry, I will not disappear, but I do have a rather busy real world life. I'll be sure to check back as often as I can, so don't despair that any little insult you have composed will be missed--keep that positive creativity flowing.
And as before, anyone else, old or new to the site who wants to have a real conversation, out of the view of a public scrutiny, can send me a "Private Message" at this site. I have never disclosed in an open post anything anyone told me privately and I never would. I'll make a point of checking these "Private Messages" more frequently than I so the topics at large.
Until the next time.
