    I think lurker would be more like it. I sometimes wonder how many of the "Old School" members come by to lurk but never drop in. On occasion one will pop in like Oner and LaLLi80, make a post or two, and then disappear again.

    but there is a reason why I said I am a ghost & most likely you will never figure it out.

    Because you're a shadow who's no longer here in spirit.

    The other possibility is that one of the Admin Zombies turned you. :D

    he went for a midnight walk April 2011 & somebody gave him a ride to our local hospital. he told the staff there that I had committed suicide so he was a bit surprised I was alive when I saw him there. that is why i say I am a ghost as he wanted to do me in as he says I gave my mother flesh eating disease which she died of complication 2 weeks to the day she went in. I preferred having my mother alive & him dead as he was loosing it upstairs & he & I had a couple of physical interactions that mom knew about 1 of them when she was still at home.

    That is a really complicated situation, but I'm assuming it's now all in the past?

    I'm currently pc bashing a Lenovo ThinkCentre small form quad core i5 3.2ghz to fit into a Compaq mid tower case so I can have 2 usb 3 ports on the front plus 4 in the back never mind the 2 usb 2 ports in the back & 2 in the front. motherboard in the tower & been powered up to make certain it works as had to get a 14 pin to 24 pin motherboard power adapter to use a regular atx PSU. currently modifying the front usb 3 module & a removeable front panel to fit together.

    I think many of us left for a time, because like almost everyone we have friends and family on Facebook. The problem with social media sites such as Facebook is it's a free-for-all that lacks focus on areas of specific interest. AD fills that void and offers an escape from Facebook. Besides, someone has to provide a little company for ddp. :D

    don't need company as I have my cats & kittens plus keeping busy cleaning up over 140+ sets of Booklet of General Plans of US Navy ships.
