It always makes me happy when I "see" someone who has been conspicuously absent... some have good reasons, of course... it's also fun to see occasionally past "rage quitters" show up again.
Occasionally I ponder whether or not I am just straight nuts for just plodding on with this... but then I remind myself that I am still plodding on with other blogs, too... some of them coming close to their 20th anniversary.
