And posting. Lots of posting.

tarragon13: Nothing to be done.

dmitri42: I'm beginning to come to that conclusion myself. smiley - sigh

tarragon13: I'm glad to see you posting again. I thought you'd smiley - Elvised.

dmitri42: Me? Never. But it's good to be back. Let me give you a smiley - hug.

tarragon13: smiley - hug Where have you been posting?

dmitri42: Over at the liesdotcomplace.

tarragon13: Did they troll you and shame you and yikes all your posts?

tarragon13: smiley - simpost

dmitri42: Do you think the Update will come today?

tarragon13: The admins say, 'Any day now'. But I have doubts.

dmitri42: You, too? You shouldn't be negative, you know. Although, I must say, it's been a long time between Updates. And yet I live in hope. What's the good of losing heart now? We should have thought of it a million years ago, in the nineties.

tarragon13: Waiting for Updates maketh the user sick, who said that?

dmitri42: I don't know. Check on fakequotes.com.

tarragon13: I blame 2legs. smiley - zen
