Recently I received an invitation to drop back in and check out these forums. Over the last couple of weeks I've enjoyed posting here and engaging in some interesting and at time zealous conversations. I'd make no secret that the reason for dropping back in was the change in ownership of the forums and subsequent break from Ubuntuforums.
Unfortunately for me a quick look over the current mods shows me 4 present or past admin/staff members of Ubuntuforums and this I find difficult to deal with on a personal level. So for now I think I'll just wish you all the best and sign off to greener pastures.
