Well, this has been an interesting story to read! Welcome back, boo boo
We've never "met" as you'd already gone by the time I arrived, but yes, your legend has lived on and, because I've dipped into many old threads here, I kept coming across your posts. Mainly in prog rock discographies and things like that: you were a prolific poster here, back in the day.
Active membership is not what it used to be, but I hope you find something here to hold your interest again.
