Thanks guys.

I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of you. It is a brilliant place to be. People must have been very lonely before the internet...or perhaps they actually had a prosperous social life. But no matter how many friends and aquaintancies one have, the enormous input of intellect and feelings served here is impossible to beat in real life.

It really sounds like I need a life. But I do and still I will feel abstinence if unavoidably detained from Pelican for a day or two. Despite sitting a couple of thousand miles away from most of you and not really knowing any of you - have not even met anyone.

BTW, I am drunk.
