Don't think a nine-letter edit is a record, was someone who edited a 5 letter word a while back. Might have been that substituted the previous, longer post since it didn't fit thought...

The lurking/posting goes in cycles for me. Sometimes I post a lot, while other times I rarely post at all. But I'm always lurking just around the corner where you least expect me

I've kinda faded into the woodwork lately. My work projects are taking a change in direction and I've been pretty heavily involved in converting our site - firstly from 100% real crap to 90% Dreamweaver/10% real crap ... and now from that to a fully database driven, user-maintained system. I'm writing the CMS in PHP over MySQL so it's so much fun I don't peruse the boards much right now.

Still love y'all though
