*sigh*
It wasn't my intention. unfortunately, a bad family emergency pretty much took me out of the loop.
I'm not deterred though. from the forum I can tell it was great, and I can't tell you how much i wanna meet you people. it's just that I've missed the short cut to doing so.
well, those who were expecting me, I hope you can forgive. for those that never knew of my existence...well, you've got something to look forward to now

best wishes everyone
