It's really a welcome back, I was a member years ago, but kind of drifted away not long after the 2008 election.

Got burned out in general, some life stuff, and decided that spending hours at my computer in my off time, after spending all day with computers at work wasn't good for my mental and emotional health. Came back after the nightmare in November, and couldn't retrieve the old account.
