Not too shabby...

I last visited here a few years ago, during the height of the poopy
pants saga, Bay Area Dave debacle and the struggle to keep the filters
up to date. I vaguely recall a splinter group (pardon the pun) that
became alt.rec.woodworking.religion.noswearing or some-such name. Caused
a major rift and a whole two members split off to new beginnings.

Anyhoo, good to see a bunch of the old faces still trapped in here. a
little wiser but a lot uglier ;). I had a look to see if the sickos are
still here, seems they must have been institutionalized. I wonder if the
poopy pants we caught ever grew up, hehe. Maybe that took some fun out
of it for them, getting caught and sacked can't be anywhere near as much
fun as being anonymous.

Anyway, I thought I'd rejoin for the annual metric vs imperial debate or
maybe start a thread on the new handsaws with lasers. I guess I missed
the whole domino vs dowels and biscuits thing, *sigh*.

So, was I missed?

:-)

bullshit and a couple of other dreary things.

Welcome Back, now if only Philly? from down under would come back.
Oddly, shhhhhhhhh. The usual PIA's have not shown back up this summer now

Not by me. (I wasn't here, either.) Howdy, Grogs! Long time no see.
