Bah, just do what I do, go absent for months at a time, then, out of nowhere, strike like a spitting cobra, blasting non-sequitur responses across half a dozen posts, before vanishing back into the night!!!
Ah, I'm late to this thread, but here I am. Sorry to see that you'll be absent for a while, but looking forward to your return as I've greatly enjoyed your "intense concentration" and playfulness on many threads, and the many clever threads you've started have been a blast!
Your generosity with the UK leaf has enhanced my palate and I thank you sir.
Much luck on the writing endeavor, but I know you'll knock it out proper!
