That's got to be the most polite lurking I've ever seen ;-)

I remember that the first time I saw your name, I misread it as "Tim 
Nikitas". I have no idea why. But now every time I see that name, I have 
to mentally remind myself to read it correctly.

Don't you just hate it when you mis-read something and don't realise 
until ages later?

(The other day I found out that "meme" is supposed to rhyme with "gene". 
Damn, and I've been mis-pronouncing it all these years...)

That's really nice to hear! I have been thinking about doing another 
image lately, as it has always been a sort of cleansing act for me, 
ordering thoughts and ideas into something cohesive. So maybe, given a 
few months (I used to take 2 months per image, roughly), there'll be 
something new to see. :-)

Thanks. For both, I guess, directing someone to my site and welcoming me 
back. There has been a steady decline of visits on my webpage, no 
wonder, of course, when it doesn't get too much attention.

Yeah, I remember that, you mentioned it once years ago. At the time, did 
I say it out loud or just wonder: Maybe you hoped I'm "La femme Nikita"? :-D

I sure remember you!  Does anyone remember me?  ;-)

It's good to hear from old friends.

Maybe, but as Stephen already put it: If you change your nick, how am I 
to know? How did you call yourself, say, four to five years ago?

> It's good to hear from old friends.

Only if those friends call without having demands or ways they need to 
use you. :-P

Almost to the point of anti-lurking. ;-)

Welcome back, Tim. :-)
