I'm sure I missed a few things while I was gone. I'll try to get through this thread, once I remove about 600 messages from my email
Anything we could do to help?
Maybe create a bunch more messages?

WHACK!
You may now proceed to rub the back of your head. 😛

Ouch

That would also mean he has not read that other thread.

(whew) It took me 45 minutes to catch up.... I'm out of breath from reading so fast.

1. How hard can it be to spell GliaMonster correctly?

2. Deer get shot in my part of the world.

3. I always thought participation in The Thread was slacking. If it isn't, don't tell me. It would spoil all the fun.

I think you're doing that now. Sorting on the subject, I'll have to see how many came in on this thread since Wed last week. Has to be over 100.
