I don't think anyone knows or cares when somebody goes missing. I even unsubscribed to this group
for about 3 months last year and nobody said a word when I reappeared or sent me an email - nothing.
Doesn't bother me, just indicates how little a single poster can be missed.

I just figured you were too busy sucking greenbacks out of the pockets of vacationing Barney's.

I used to laugh when I'd pop into an Aussie bar for a pint of Toohey's Old (aaaahhhhhh) and see a
few Oz yuppies trying to be cool by drinking Bud. Yep, no doubt about it, slap "imported" on a brown
bottle, double the price and some git will buy it. ;-)
