 I didnt have internet at that time'so when I eventually got internet again, 
Bill was gone. It felt kinda strange, being used to going to p.o.t just to 
see what Bill is saying...

I remember he posted a pic of himself once and it looked like Stone Cold 
Steve Austin... in a Library  ...!

That's nothing. Warp posted a picture of himself, and it looked like the 
damn Terminator or something... O_O

Scary guy.

Not first hand. The last I remember is BdW wanted to learn an obscure language
so that he and his son could talk secretly on their walkie talkies. For what
sounded to me like paranoia. I then went offline for a week or two and heard
later about his over reaction to Warp sending him a PM.

Hmm I vaguely recall him saying it was more like for being able to talk in  
a cafe or some such without other people being able to understand him.  
Thinking about it doing such might be considered dangerous to their health  
in the present climate.

That too and I've got a memory of escape routs being talked about.

Hmm! I hadn't thought about that.

I still find it amusing that I actually left the country for a week and 
nobody noticed... :-D

Huh.

I left the country for 2.3 months, and [I suspect] it wasn't noticed.  But 
then, I was hardly a "core" poster here, let alone being a "hardcore" poster 
like you are  :-P   I left on 2 December and came back one day ago, 12 
February.

So, whered'ja go, and to do what?  :-)

Lemme guess... It's winter where you are now, and you like skiing, and you 
did it last year, and you liked that then, so....
