On a different post someone wrote "I think the situation here has become a little tenous because no one seems to know how long we will be left wondering about the return of the index or not. For some it is rather important and for others, not so much. But, one way or the other, there is some tension afoot due to the not knowing."

Having decided that there was more than enough serious discussion (many good discussions, many of which I participated in myself) to last for a good long time, thought I throw a few logs into a pile and start a good old fashioned bonfire, and see if we can't get back to what makes this site so unique to begin with...the people. Welcoming old friends, meeting new friends, sharing some stories...along with roasting marshmallows, hot dogs and a few...um...libations may be in order as well.

Come one, come all...pull up a log and join us...tell us a bit about...whatever you want to tell us about.

~~Stokes the fire and adds some logs, opens a bag of marchmallows.~~

For example - anyone want to share a story about the very first post they ever made here to caedes?

This was my first one, and I put a thread into request for comment. Not only did some great, great people offer advice and support, but dear jackie was kind enough to download it, edit it, send it back to me with a lenghty e-mail on what she did and why. Her version is here.

Anyone else want to share something about...whatever?
