Re: Here comes the EGO-MANiac again - Ralph's

["Page Rox" <pagerox93>]

Nah, Mitch--I'm just trying to find out who 'dropped out' after posting the
1st thing in this thread. I didn't read much or post but once--and it wasn't
a hateful one, as you probably read! I'm just interested that someone said
the person that started this thread is 'no longer with us' and what that
means! No longer on the planet?! I'm sad!!! No longer on Babel-list? I
probably have his/her email anyway, and he/she will probably come back, as
is in my (and most likely YOUR) experience!!

Cheers to you, hope you're doing fine!!
Spring is ALMOST here--Hooray!!!

XOXO-Glenna
