Also the fact that I got Eurobricks blocked at my work as "web chat" makes it a little harder to accumulate the mass post amounts your used to seeing from me. I'll leave that to lightingtiger who has managed to post more than I even did.
I'll definetaly be lurking from time to time, but I wont be good for much over the next 5 weeks, and Even then, the ridiculous poster your used to is gone.
