Whaaaaaat? Impossible! Well, I guess reactions like this will be all over the place now Yay! I was hoping for your return, sir SpM, but looks like my hope was still not "real" enough, I am surprised and amazed Welcome back! Well, and I hope you are planning to also stay around.

Have you ever read SPM's old posts? He posted very wise, and very interesting things! I love to read old threads. SPM posted a lot before I came. Even after for a while...

Apart from having the most posts of all Downers past and present, by a fair margin? I can't claim to have read more than a tiny fraction of them, but not one that was boring. There are a couple of people without whom this place wouldn't be what it is, and SpM's one of them.

EDIT: x-ed with TGEW. Exactly.

Wit and intelligence - he used to be at the top of the rep as well before the world was changed.

He could get grumpy (pot..kettle) and while you might not agree with him - goodness knows I crossed swords a few times and had the odd full and frank exchange of views by PM - his posting was of the highest calibre.

Oh and he is a fiendishly good Werewolf player and mod.

We were saying at Oxford how much we missed him . And now I bet he will spit his beer if he reads that I said that...

Hush now, all of you. You are embarassing me. It will all go to my head and no good will come of it ...

But thank you for the warm welcome, which makes me feel right back at home again, and greetings to old friends and to some new (to me) faces who I hope to get to know better.

I am afraid that my Tolkien is a bit rusty, so I have a bit of catching up to do. And as for that (frankly ludicrous) post count of mine, well I put it down to a rather obsessive approach to Werewolf and long hours spent in the Quiz Room with knowledgable souls who know much more about Tolkien's works than me. In fact, that may just be the best place to brush up on my Tolkien ...

Braving the open prohibiton... So nice to see you for a long time SPM!

Well as long as you don't start forging rings of power...

Oh no Mnemo... that is like getting people NOT to clap for Tinkerbell!

You know, I've always wondered what would happen if nobody clapped for Tink in a production...

You know, you could just recycle a lot of those old posts as they're surely just as good today as they were back then. Good for us, good for you, and good for the environment of course...

Welcome back, by the way, and I look forward to reading your new posts as well.

alatar already starts to wonder what significance SpM's return portends...
