hmmm. I am. :) Hell, I'm all but ecstatic to see you post! I've lurked forever. The first posts I ever read involved you and Ironbear and Kammerer and Syyd. damn but I'd love to remember them again. I think they were in the tavern, though. Taught a lot of people things because you tried them. They taught those things to others, and inspired others. yeah, you're there...

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
