Yes, I am back.

Greg is returning to the US today.

That explains a lot. I emailed him a couple days ago asking for my green jacket back :biggrin:, but I haven't heard from him. I was afraid he didn't remember me. :tongue:

Heh. It's funny how being mean to crackpots can be seen as a virtue, in the right context. Today I'd probably be given infraction points for making many of my old posts from back then! :rofl: Ah well, to make an omelette you've got to break a few eggs.

Oh, and it's a green cape with tights now. :tongue2:

Tights? Uh oh, I'd better hit the gym after all that holiday eating! :redface:
