Heya, just wanted to let you all know that I'm back. Been busy the past few months, had a life of some kind and didn't have any time for MacNN...

But, for all of you who still remember me (the two of you who actually do), I'm back and now fear me!

Well, the place does have a certain sameness I have to admit, however it looks slightly different now.

Even more famous than Kelly Hogan et al.

Sure, zimph has never backed away from an argument but unless there was some incriminating pm's then I'd say his banination was uncalled for.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

Does the "et al" refer to multiple personalities?

I'd leave it at that but then i'd look like i don't care.

I've been gone too, but then again i wasn't here enough to be truly gone. Or something.

As stated in the thread, the reason he was banned was his refusal to stop derailing threads by latching onto details that were not the point of the thread. He was duly warned to stop but chose to continue his bad habit, and I kept my word.

Hey!

You've been missed.

What happened - hope you still have a life outside of MacNN...

I guess you must have sold that Linux box, and been working hard to finance a new G5...

Heheh, you know you must..

Warmest regards

Thanks, I will And thanks to all of you who remembered me... and no, I did not sell my Linux box since I am not allowed to sell it. And no, I did not order a G5 Mac since I really don't need one right now.
