laugh Very good, Nancymac. But my use of "otherwise" semantically includes (or excludes) the singular with the plural unless, of course, you renounce your place among others of your kind. Or were you just being a petulant pedant? smile

Really, Nancymac, most who post here are good folk. I am probably the worst of a well mannered lot and I am angelic.

Hi Nancymac

Allow a long-lost and similarly returned old hand to welcome you and any contribution you make to the board discussions smile

In pertickly, I loved the fact you revived the Ted-threds - some of the most genuinely creative writing on the whole board imho. ok, so mebbe Jackie hates it or something, but she hates Shakespeare so she's a lost cause... {eg}

...I was a Pooh-Bah, so let me paraphrase myself and say "I desire to associate myself with those expression of welcome!" (that's from Act II)

It's been a while, and it's good to hear from you all again!

Yes. You're the most recent recidivist, and nancymac before ye, and rhuby even a while before that.

(I was going to title this "many happy returns" but decided it was too corny...) Anyway, welcome back to all !

Oh wofa! I tried to create a 'welcome back' swifty and I could not come up with anything. There you go again being one step ahead of me creatively as always. Allow me to complete it: "Many happy returns!" Tom said, welcomingly.

I went back a few pages, and tried to follow the conversation. At this date seems pretty muddled.
And you've got it, I am still not too enthralled, but I thought I'd check it out. Did not recognize
any thing I wrote previously, probably not too impressed then either. But it sure wracked up a lot
of conversation at the time, didn't it?

Don't remember much of the conversation back then, even when reading all the responses.
But glad to see you back, don't be gone so long next time.
