Actually, it's tomorrow, but I'm not sure about my net access tomorrow, so let it be today

So, 15 years (bar a day) ago yours truly joined this place

Admittedly, I've been somewhat idle for the latter half of that span, but verily active for the first half of it, and I used to know half of you that used to frequent the place back then much better than I know the other half of you frequenting the place now, but still, I'm thankful for the time spent here

And ya hey to Mr. Barrow-Wight, doubly so for establishing the place in the first half of my span here and for restoring it to life near the end of the my second half again

Not much of a bi...deathday speech, but at least I've tried to follow the lead of Mr. Bilbo Baggins, esquire, whose birthday we are also celebrating today

Cheers
