Hey all,

S'ape messaged me the other day and told me that his boss has blocked PF across the entire campus where he works, just so he can't use it... he's pretty annoyed, but wanted to say hey to everyone, sooo... HEY! (from him, not me)

hopes everyone is well and all that, blah blah, i'll send him your regards.
