Appreciate it. Doesn't apply to us. vBulletin the software development organization has been fucking up royally recently and it is a source of some concern.

Mags I've seen you posting at the Times-Herald!

Heya Maggie - Long time no see.

Good news for Sheldon.

Maggie - such a long absence!
If you come back to read this thread, please consider looking around at least...?
It would be great to have you back, even though I'll probably disagree with many of your opinions

Hey - that's what the Cellar was about way back when, heated discussions without rancour.

Maggie has been quite busy with the arrival of a grandchild!

Sundae · 07-26-2010, 11:37 AM

From the daughter who married in the UK, perchance?

BrianR · 07-26-2010, 10:07 PM

I'm not sure. I'll ask next time we talk.
