I've been away for awhile. I'm not sure how long. Certainly months, perhaps years. I wandered back for a visit and saw old, long-time friends listed as newbies. I'm hardly a founding member. I think I've been posting here for something like 14 years and longer as a lurker. What happened to all of the old guys? Did we get demoted to newbie status because of our mental deficits? That makes sense and is probably deserved, but somehow doesn't seem right given the thousands of hours we have wasted here. I'm far too lazy to figure it out and really don't care much about my seniority on an online discussion group. Please, somebody take pity on an ancient guy with IQ leaking away faster than his diapers can contain and explain it to me. Hi to all of you newbies I've been listening to for a couple of decades.
