I'm BACK!

That's right, after the longest month of my life, I am back on the PFs, and God help anyone who tries to take me off again.

To those of you who thought you were finally rid of me, think again, because I am BACK!


Hmm...I see I've been knocked off the top of the "top ten posters" board, but that's only logical (I've been gone for a MONTH, and a few extra days). I've got some serious catching up to do...

Should I be afraid? :-D

You should look at it as"it took a month for the rest of us to catch up with you! Welcome back!
 
HEY MENTAT!

Great to have you back. Since you left we have figured out absolutely everything. Sorry you missed it.

That and then some, but I'm glad to be back.

LOL!

So, you've figured everything out, have you? I guess I'll just have to ask the question that is not really a question, in order to find the unanswerable answer (just spent some time reading a thread where TENYEARS participated a lot :wink:).


Thanks for the welcome all. :smile:

P.S., you'll notice that I'm using the smilies a lot. Well, a month is a long time, I think I was really losing it, 'cause I even missed the smilies!

Thanks for the welcome, Boulderhead.

Hmm...I had been trying to think of an appropriate way of phrasing this, before bringing it up, but you have forced my hand (that's ok, it just might not come out the way I want it to).

The only new restriction is an increased restriction on my ability to participate in religious threads. The restriction now includes threads that are directly related to the existence of God.

Otherwise, it'll be business as usual :smile:.

I don't think it's that big a sacrifice. Anyway, I really hope we can stop bringing that same subject up in the Philosophy section (it seems pretty well decided that neither side can be proven, anyway).
