Hey Bubbs!!!
20156. jexster - 9/12/2006 12:17:57 AM 911 is our birthday??
I'm speechless at the irony.
 20157. bubbaette - 9/12/2006 12:50:11 AM Hey y'all. I was feeling a bit low with the anniversary and I got to thinking about everything that's changed since 9-11. The aftermath of 9-11 kind of precipitated my walking away from the Mote. It was interesting to read the link Wabbit provided and remember. The impact continues to spread in a billowing cloud of mo-fucktion that's changing the globe. 20158. wonkers2 - 9/12/2006 12:52:01 AM Welcome back, bubbaette? 20159. wonkers2 - 9/12/2006 12:52:31 AM Strike "?" Typo. 20160. bubbaette - 9/12/2006 1:04:24 AM Whew. I thought you were telling me to take a hike. 20161. Ms. No - 9/12/2006 3:17:01 AM Bubba!
I KISS YOU!!! 20162. Wombat - 9/12/2006 3:50:18 AM Hey Bubbaette!

that is a more correct spelling 20168. alistairconnor - 9/12/2006 9:03:31 AM Bubba, yes the 9/11 aftermath... balkanized us. It's as if we were a Bosnian village, people of different origins and differing opinions who had our differences and our fights, but always managed to get along more or less... despite the brawls and the agitated town meetings.
In the aftermath, that broke down, a lot of people just weren't interested in making the effort to coexist, on the contrary it seemed that it became important to choose sides and designate enemies. 20169. Macnas - 9/12/2006 9:53:04 AM Hello Mago and eveybody, I've popped in now and then but to be honest I couldn't be bothered to post, as like Pelle, I'd nothing much to say.
I still don't, but that never stopped anyone. 20170. Magoseph - 9/12/2006 11:40:50 AM Hi, Mac!
I remember a time when I was trying to get our Diva back here how you answered many posts of mine, thereby encouraging me to pursue the campaign to revive this thread. That was two and half years ago and since, this thread got about 13,500 posts, not a mean feat considering how small is our Mote. Even though many of these posts consisted of just writing short greetings to one another, they kept us in touch. If we were working in the same place, a smile from you and a Hello, Mago! while passing each other in the corridors would make my day, you know.
Now, Mac, trying to edit the above, I realize that I'm bragging. To be honest, I have mulled about since we reached the 20,000 posts how I could bring about the fact that we did rather well from the time I became the host and dear Mac, you gave me the chance. I'm rather shallow when it comes to get credit for most everything I do.
