In Reply to: Those Were The Days..... posted by drummer on September 02, 2001 at 18:53:42:
Those were the days. There have been days in between and now we have these days. I don't know what happened between "those and these", but your absence has been noted many times. I also don't know why you have been absent, not that it's probably any of my business.
But in addition to the other posts, you and I have a history of a sort too. You were the first to respond to my first post. You remember the details as well as I do. You pissed me off and I came back a stronger supporter. Thank you for that. There was about a year and a half of something of a friendship. I'm sure many, many others here can say the same thing. You did a lot for all of us. You made us smile, snarl, spit and sputter, but more than that, you were our friend. Even your e-mail was signed "your friend".
We miss you.
Sure, the board has changed. It's not just the comfortable few who knew all about each other anymore. Its a new era - full of new people. And given the chance to experience you, most of them would want e-mail signed "your friend" also.
I am writing this publicly so that the "newbies" will know how valued a person, gifted a writer and what a rable rowser you are.
Your friend,
Donna
