Hi Howard . . . so nice to see you!
I missed your sense of humor!
I was reading on one of the threads (here) that it isn't that hard to get back on (even if you were banned, which I can't imagine why you would have been . .?). Because most of us have roaming IP addresses, apparently all you have to do is set up a new email address (yahoo/hotmail), and a new profile (which is a drag, because some of us like to keep our nicknames

).
Anyway, write down my email address - which is my sign on name @yahoo.com - and if you are still having troubles when we get back, I'll follow up.
Cherie
