Hello after forever, from Floyd Kermode

[judgefloyd]

Gidday, gidday, and thanks again.
  Buttonman's chart there is a thing of beauty.  I'm not writing in because I haven't been reading the progs for a bit, so my letters would have to be general in nature  (Dear Tharg, how do? It's hot here today...). 
   Nice to see some names I remember here. 

[AlexF]

Hey, some of us have been writing on these message boards for longer than a whole pile of hot new talent has been writing/drawing for the Prog!
Some names to look out for in the credits boxes:
Michael Carroll, Rory McConville, Jake Lynch, Alec Worley, Michael Dowling, Emma Beeby, Jimmy Broxton, Ian Culbard, Dave Taylor, Tiernan Trevallion...
Kek-W has come back in a BIG way, too.

Welcome back

[TordelBack]

Good to see you back, Mr. K! Nothing Tharg likes to print more than the joyous return of a prodigal, time to unbutton the episotolary stranglehold of Needy of Paisley.

[judgefloyd]

Thank you, Tordelback, also everyone, you're all so nice! (holds back manly tear).
   Needy of Paisley is welcome to it, but I'll write a letter if I get hold of a prog and am feeling epistolatory (if that's the word). 

[Dandontdare]

   Needy of Paisley is welcome to it,

    If we ever meet at at a con, remind me of this as I owe you a pint.

[Buttonman]

Haters gonna hate! What you losers need is to find your stamps and pencils!

If we ever meet at a con, I certainly will.  I've met exactly one board person IRL, one Gary W in Lincoln.  Can't remember who bought the pints, but the pub meal was fantastic, and we toasted Tharg and the rest of you. 

[Mike Carroll]

Welcome back, Floyd! You've been missed!

[judgefloyd]

Why thank you!  I'll endeavour to not need moderating.
