I notice that the intellectual calibre of posts has plummeted since my departure. For this reason (pity - why are you afraid of telling me what's preventing you from admitting that you know I was the lodestar, rara avis and lynchpin of AWADtalk?), for Auld Lang Syne, and as a show New Year's magnanimity, I have decided to consider reconsidering if, and, I stress, only if, I recieve a sufficient number of supplicatory personal messages by way of petition for my return.

How we managed to stumble along for five years without you is beyond me.

Thank you, Homo Loquens, I needed a comical relief after failing a test.

Come back, Homo, you need Awad more than Awad needs you. The motley Awaders here will serve as precursors to the people who you will amaze with your brilliance and offend with your arrogrance in your adult life yet to come. Here you will learn humility and politeness to go with your role as a self-described lynchpin. I, for one, beg for your return. And I have the proxy of two shy others.

Camile: (with one eye popped at the audience) Not a faggot in the house?! Look on the street; there's bound to be one there.

I don't believe we have a sufficient number of active members to achieve your lofty expectations. (oh, BTW, you seem to have misspelled "recieve".)

Yes. I see that. And it is devastating to my (jocose) attempt at extravagantly disgusting intellectual hauteur. But on second thought (to wit, "A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery") I can put it down to parapraxis. The repressed motive? To furnish the board with something to retort with to mitigate the potential offence of my gambit.
In this way (by post hoc, ergo propter hoc hypothesis) Homo Loquens preserves both the stratospheric esteem in which you all hold him, as well as his cherished but fragile delusions of intellectual grandeur.
But enough showboating.
Happy new years!
Oh and Consuelo, your lengthy personal message (albeit a little on the servile side for my taste) was appreciated. Thank you.
