Missing old friends

[Spaced Cowboy]

Only because you have a loud booming voice (more so due to hearing loss than anything).

Preciate the comment, but I'm another dorky Ginger.

[Buster's Uncle]

My brother sounds just like me, his hearing's fine, and his voice carries 20 miles, too.  -Well, 10, anyway; he's not as loud as me.

You're a cool ginger.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Thanks bro, A guy at work always reminds me of you.

[Buster's Uncle]

I'm sorry.

Why would he do such a nasty thing?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Nothing to be sorry about, some physical resemblance and mannerisms.  Big and tough on the outside, soft and chewy center.

[Buster's Uncle]

I'm flattered, but I don't swing that way.

I have a tender center.

Post was not meant to be a come on or gayish in any manner, not that being gay is bad or anything like that.

[Buster's Uncle]

Uh huh.

Too many other things going on, like family, scouts, games.

When you say scouts, do you mean the Scouting Program?

[Buster's Uncle]

He's Australian.  On the weekends the rough types hunt each other out in the bush.

Huge good news for WPC - one of my secret sources (it was Nikolai) just told me they've finally fixed the "problem with logging in and registering on WPC" and asks me to put the word out.  I just did.
  for them. 

I also just quoted from a real PM and should ban myself.  Do not ask me who my source was, though.

[Buster's Uncle]

God help me, I just logged in again and can confirm that it's fixed.  No muss, no fuss, Moby Dick works as a whale again like he should.  Big difference from 21 hours ago.

Some people may have multiple user names that they use across different sites.

It would be hard for folks to find someone like me on unrelated sites I jump to. I am assuming it would be the same for others.

Add to that, years pass. I know people that were hardcore gamer types. But, sometimes they got heavy into other things. Sometimes they married someone or had kids. One of my good buddies was a mainstay in any gaming activity I did. However, he married this girl and they started plopping out multiple kids. Add to that he is a firefighter, 3rd degree Black Belt, and EMT, he has no time to game anymore. Sad, too.

Mostly people in the Civ community use the same handle, or similar, throughout the community, AFAIK.

And never any harm with trying with someone missing - they might not come back, but they might if they get the ping.  You never know - and former members, of course, are proven quantities compared to newbs, who we DO want, but even the most promising ones mostly wander off after a month...  You just have to shotgun to everyone and play the numbers.  It pays off.

Dale, does that go too far?
