Not to worry, lugg. Nothing important happened.

This board is dedicated to the discussion of philosophical matters, economic and political theories, and subjects touching your inner life. It is not a place for proselytizing or for aggression. Rather, it’s a zone for discussion of who we are, how we see the world, and how we’d like it to be. Things that have inspired you or changed your views about life can be revealed and opened to comment here.
While we may not always agree, it is indisputable that we can expand our horizons by sharing our views, whether the subject is philosophy or economic analysis.
Since there is a risk that some of the discussions may provoke strong feelings and overly passionate discourse, the initiator of any discussion may request that a thread be locked or moved elsewhere if it is felt that it is the best solution to prevent acrimony.

You don't win an argument by silencing your opponent. Best thing to do is hold your head high and walk away...neither side wins or loses.
The last 18 months have played havoc with everybody's mental capacities for coping with the sudden and terrible changes we are facing every day.
I don't know how fragile the person I am writing to is feeling today. A little joke to me may appear to the other person to be a gut-wrenching put-down. If you are a traveller you are already getting "itchy feet" and want to be anywhere but here. Thanks to Mike and others for taking us on their trips. That is a positive way to keep our group together.
How prescient the founders of this forum were when they named us! We are now sheltering from the storm in a port that may not be our first choice...but everyone must feel safe here. With so much death and disaster around us it is the support that we have for each other here that makes us different.
It has been this support that has kept me on top of things in the fairly rugged year I have had. Please be kind to each other, we never know what is happening in their lives at this time, or what fears they are facing.
(Like a computer meltdown and temporary name change!)

I'm still looking back in the stacks for treasure and came across some real jewels. I remember when this one was first posted & it's still the same pleasure to look at it again ~ Serpentine PavilionsThere is also this thread full of thrills which will have your eyeballs doing the loop-the-loop ~ Aerobatics at the Show
