thanks, guys. i missed all of you, i truly did. i kept hoping it would work out and i'd get the keys to the kingdom again, etc but no response from the admins.
actually, i crunched a disc pulling my kit bag out of the 737 in early march and now i get a nice surgery with titanium screws, plastic rods, etc, and will be out about 6 months. fun. but i'll finish my novel.
