Damn, I initially thought I'd just drop in, skim through, post something, and disappear back into the void for another year, but after reading five or seven of the latest threads, I have to say, I feel strangely warm inside.
I hadn't thought about it, but maybe belonging to some strange, informal, and in many ways time-frozen online community is what I've been missing all this time.
I don't know if anyone's happy about this, but I think I'll stay with you.
Let the prodigal son back into the family.
