Now that you've explained mule blinders don't overdo it:o) I didn't want to comment on Civilemes coming back 'cause I liked the way he's just carrying on as if he's never been away. Aside from that I still have good remembrances of how Till (Kampeter) roamed these same lists in the early times of cups introduction helping us out as best he could. And not forgetting what Vincent (Danen) does in the same fashion these days for his specialties on the (expert&newbie) lists. I'm sure there's more but they come to mind now. Let's give civileme the 'welcome back' he deserves and salute the other "guru's" still here and gone. .... Civileme, Hope you're here to stay, feels like a lost friend coming back. Good luck, HarM
