When you first hit the scene, it was during the time that my laptop had died and then spent 2+ weeks trying to fix it... and then another 2+ weeks getting it replaced when I decided I didn't want to go mother-board hunting.

Once I came back, it took some time to gain my steam again after being away for over a month (though was able to log on once or twice remotely to keep from Auto-ing).

I was glad to have met you, though. A good solid commander... and one I hope who stays around. The village needs a strong, steady presence, and you're the man for the job.

Thanks for the tears at the end. Made me sad.
