Back in march/april, I wandered off-site. Now, i'm sort of back if only to watch and see if I feel I can contribute again.
Probably, (as JimS warned me about ) I got pretty burned-out. Things on the site were, and continue to be going well, so, perhaps, my presence was not really that required, Now, after a number of months doing very different things, i've realized that I HAVE missed the old place....
I'll be around a bit, but probably, at least now, as a 'watcher' rather than a an 'active'

Welcome home Jim. You've put in many great years at the site, and here's hoping that you can find some bench time to concentrate more on that modeling thing now

Missed your reviews and commentaries Jim. Welcome back ! Just like swimming. Stick your big toe in if you like the water dive in. If not, wait. The time will be right one day.
Have a happy Holiday Season !

Hi Jim, glad to see you back on the Manor! I don't know about necessary - what counts is you're always welcomed!

Nice to see you back Jim.

Hi Jim,
Well I have to say it is a relief to hear that you are still with us in the land of the living. I had half-thought all that hard work on the site had driven you to the grave. I am glad it did not of course! Knowing a bit about obsessions (both the good and the bad) I can sympathize with your need to drop out of sight. I just hope that if it happens again you will write a note telling people so.
Welcome back,
Jim
