Hello. It's been a long time.
Shall I re-introduce myself? Here? The Free Clinic branch?
Am I being arrogant to assume that my handle is even known?

Delighted to see you here, Nutrax. I won't be the only person who'll recognize your handle instantly.

You are a celebrity, Nutrax. In fact, to explain who vinnyD was on another board where he had arrived, I said that he was "like Nutrax on steroids*" and they went "ahhhhh..."
* I was joking.

Hi, Nutrax. Wonder if you remember me- used to occasionally post on the US, Like a Sore Thumb etc branches in TT.

Hello. It's been a long time. Shall I re-introduce myself? Here? The Free Clinic branch? Am I being arrogant to assume that my handle is even known? You are always welcome, Nutrax. You need to put in your famous "data" sig line next. "The plural of anecdote is not data." Saludos, Don Cuevas (AKA Anonimo) |

Hi Nutrax! Nice to see you.
I wonder when/if they'll bring back Speaking in Tongues or Get Stuffed. Surely there was never anything offensive on either of them. And Health?!!

Hiya nutraxfornerves. I do recognize your handle, from the times I'd lurk on the 'Get stuffed' branch. Welcome back.  |

I thought I'd set up the sig line, but it is not working.
Where do I address a question about that?

No, on this board. I have signature enabled and I have text in the sig. block, but it's not showing up.

Hmmm, let me test a signature. I've never tried.
Verdict: it didn't work for me either.

Sorry, guys ~~ they're not going to work. There is some other code -- a crucial one -- that prevents the sig line from working. Y'all are just going to have to rely on your dazzling personalities to shine through. There was a poster (here? somewhere else?) who had the sig line "the possums were thrilled". This gave me pleasure every single time I saw it, but we shan't be seeing it here.  |

Well, except for that flurry of strong language, you seem to have recovered nicely.

The years pass...
I still come across Nutrax on the Thorn Tree from time to time, but she is quite rare there as well, as are all of us ancient ones in that place.
However, I will never forget that the Thorn Tree is the reason that this place exists.

So very nice to see the 2 of you.
I wish more members of the past would wander back in.
Many just went POOF!!!

I've just wandered back in to the Thorn Tree.
Oh dear.
I've sometimes contributed reasonably recently to the Zambia branch but decided this time to have a mooch around the other boards. Fairly typical of the current situation is Get Stuffed - where the most recent thread is started by our own K2 - but twenty seven days ago. WTF as they say.
Like a Sore Thumb - last thread started three months ago.
Speaking in tongues - ten days ago.
USA is going strong though.
India - maybe one or at the most two, threads started per day.
Egypt about a week ago.
Oh dear, times have certainly left them behind.

Yes, it is very sad. Nutrax should wander back here, though, since she will jump on most of the threads in the Speaking in Tongues branch, so clearly she craves a bit of interaction. But I suppose that she has plenty of other websites on which to be pedantic.

We are aware that the Thorn Tree has (gone tits up) errr... been put on hold and is now read only?
Sky Princess has offered to take it over.
I'm sure it will go well then.

Does that means it's already Christmas? That is usually when the Thorn Tree locks itself as per its Christian discriminatory habit.

But the BBC fobbed it off to some company in Kentucky or something.

Sure, after the damage was already done. Thorn Tree had a momentum, admittedly not always nice or even healthy, but god it was often screamingly funny. BBC sent in the earnest flat-footed classroom monitors who made sure every bit of verve was permanently sucked out of the place. Whatever the new owner got was a dead husk. Admittedly I have not read more than a little of this, but am passing it on in case others are more motivated than I ~ travel.cnn.com/bbc-selling-lonely-planet-kentucky-cigarette-billionaire-brad-kelley-690571/ |

Anyway, Nutrax is welcome back here if ever she chooses to wander back in.
