Before any more time passes, I want to take a moment to thank the Anonymous (generous, bountious, magnanimous, gracious) individual who contributed to this site by paying for a Gold membership on my behalf.

When I managed to access OKC Talk (the day before yesterday, while out of town on vacation), logged-in, and saw a note from Pete, several thoughts ran through my head almost simultaneously. Among them: "How can this be? My Inbox has been too full to add or send messages for at least six months . . ." "What did I do to get banned? Was it something I said?"

Imagine how good it was to see such a nice surprise.

Again: Thank You. (and you know who you are =)
