I received a private message back on May 12/09 inviting me to post on this thread. I guess the forum administrators want to see if we "dormant" members of years gone by are still alive.
Well, four-and-a-half months later, and I finally got around to replying (anyone else procrastinate this much? ) I joined in 2005 and posted enthusiastically back then. I think I might have a subconscious tendency to take a sabbatical from discussion forums because when one returns to them after a long absence, they seem fresh and new.
I think I'll go post something in the Godfather Trilogy group now...
