Since I’ve been MIA lately (and appreciate the 'welcome back' from Lucky, Marinegunrock, gorgonheap, cheesemoo, and FJnbk), I want to
say thanks to ant, dotdude, djsunkid, jonny, sometimes, therealblankman, and
zifnab for the promotes during my absence. (All is well, things just got real hectic at work and home, cutting my free time drastically)

And it seem I missed quite a few goldie/diamond parties, so
I also want to give big “Congrats!” the folks who’ve reached their milestones:  Aceofclubz, Arsenault185, arvana, BillOReilly,
bicyclerepairman, blankfist, bleedingsnowman, berticus, captwilliard, choggie, ConstitutionalPatriot,
cyberbeast, darkrowan, deedub81,  dw1117,
dystopianfuturetoday, E_Nygma, eric3579, Fedquip, fissionchips, Issykitty, JAPR,
jimms, KOMMIE,  kronosposeidon, kulpin, laura,
legacy0100, MycroftHomlz, Oatmeal, pipp3355, qruel, rottenseed, Sarzy, sbchapm,
smibbo, sometimes, TheSnipe, Thylan (my God, this sounds like an Oscar acceptance
speech!), twiddles,  zeph, and..SiftBot? 

There, I hope I got everyone. It seems I have some catching
up to do: let’s see, no more ‘requeue’, ‘save’ is now ‘promote’, and...’kill’?!
What have you all been DOING?!
