Konnichi wa!
Sorry everyone about dropping off the end of the world there. I can assure you it wasn't my fault... especially since you can't fall off the end of the world, but that's beside the point.
My leave of absence was due to a failing of computer parts, mainly a fried motherboard, which in turn has limited my ability to access the internet through any other means other then through other people's computers... which is no fun!
But after a month in exile the necessary repairs have been made and dread of all dreads... yes... "I" am back online. Yes you may run in fear now or you can post a "welcome back" first and then flee in terror!
God Bless
