Ha, you're right! It does have more of that Hitch Hiker's feel to it. I also thought of Frederik Pohl as well.

He was on his way out of here because of some ...unamusing people. Then someone wondered what had happened to him and he came back. As a very angry ghost.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Certainly not.

I honestly thought you all had long since connected the lines and seen what had happened, or at least suspected it. All except the really unamusing people who probably could not care less. Actually, I'm fine with that, because up to now my only way to deal with bullies was to hit them hard and where it hurts. Not the sort of thing I wanted to bring here.

If more people get involved with conflicts in on-line environments, the conflicts just escalate, and I've seen communities as strong as CP destroyed by just a few @rseholes, so looking the other way isn't a sign of disrespect, it's just a way of minimising the damage that @rseholes cause.
And CP was still here for you to come back to, so I'll call it a win.
I confess I miss the newsgroup days, where the medium made it possible to ignore/block certain subscribers completely.
But I'm glad you're back! You've got a lot of knowledge that I don't have, and are skilled in things that I wish I'd taken the time to learn, so it's always a pleasure to see your perspective.

That's what I said to the missus. I told her I wanted to sort all the spices alphabetically, and she asked me "Where are you gonna find the time?"
I said: "Right next to the sage!"

no, leaf it out, don't coriander business. Or if you must, go gingerly. That's my sage advice, anyway.
