So sorry. I'll be sure to cc you on any future memos.

A combination. There simply wasn't enough entertainment value to make

I don't hang out here on a regular basis anymore, but I stop by
occasionally to spread a little sunshine.

Hmmm ... Interesting. Your reference to "the unpleasantness of the
personal attacks" somehow sounds more grievous than anything you
experienced in MFW. I won't be so crass as to ask the identity of the
offender[s], but would you disclose the forums in which those attacks
occurred? A morbid curiousity on my part, of course.

Always happy to oblige a delicate flower such as yourself.

But you don't need a memo for that; you saw it firsthand!

I'm not sure you can call it "cutting" under those circumstances.
Anyway, the experiment went rather oddly. I gave up on that stupid diet
after my power went out for 15 hours and I had to throw away most of my
food. Then I started losing weight without trying. After I lost a few
pounds I realized that what I really needed to do was gain back some
muscle. I'm not doing that right now though. Bulking in summer is...
eww. I just can't eat that much when it's hot out. Not consistently,
anyway.

No. I must have been removed from the circulation loop. I feel so
alone.

So, was your departure due to personal conflicts or boredom?

Keep in mind that you're always welcome here. Your shy and gentle
personality is truly a delight, and your ample bosom forms a wonderful
backdrop for important communiques to The Admiral.

I see you clutch at straws as usual Williams, in your desperation to
get one over on me. Remember that .jpeg is only on my web site because
I want it there; and because I have the capacity to enjoy a joke -
even if it is at my own expense.

By way of retaliation for your silliness John Williams, and given that
you are indicating a predilection for all things anal, I raise a cheek
and fart raucously in your general direction, as a token of my regard
for you!
