Hello. If you're receiving this message, I must say I'm quite
shocked. Yes, I did fall off the face of the planet and I should
have bequeathed the list to someone else before I did so. It was one
of those things, you know? You drift a little further away, but
you're still in sight, and you think you're going to get right back
at it, but then you're a little further away and a little more. And
then every so often you get a reminder of where you were, but then
you're a little embarrassed so you just sorta try not to think about
it, like the Prodigal Son, I guess.

Anyway. I'm restarting the group. I've not been puzzling as much in
the last couple of years as I was, but it's still definitely a part
of my life and I've missed the interaction with kindred spirits. I
don't blame anyone who got fed up and went elsewhere, but if you're
still interested in having this discussion here, so am I, and I'll be
here.

Meanwhile, I'm going to get caught up on the messages and see what I
can do about updating links and files. Feel free to respond if
you're still out there!

Mitchell
(very, very sorry!)
