EDDIE!!!!
How you been, babeee!
I refuse to "get in the spirit" of a Poobah opus because I fully expect the bastard back by (checking watch ...) 11:37 Saturday evening ...
OR ELSE.
I have had my disagreements with Poohbah but he's impressed me more than once with his patience and civility when -- initially at loggerheads -- he drove home a point or two to me, even, and schooled me on some stuff I didn't know as a bonus.
NO ONE offers to continue checking their FReepmail without asking for an itch they're going to have to scratch eventually.
All I ask is that he return as "Poohbah" (or "Grand Poohbah") because I really don't understand folks who stealth-change their names for no good reason and sorta mistrust them ever after.
I hope he's just resting, but "Grand Poohbah" has a certain ring to it.
After all....not even DonMorgan's opus went over a thousand posts!
