Hey! I am not, and have not ever, been gone. In fact, I am less gone than many others. Perhaps I do not contribute as frequently as I might; perhaps I have a quick canter through anything interesting; perhaps I hold my peace. Perhaps, like General de Gaulle, I await 'L'Appel'. Perhaps I should leave, so as to revel in the pleas from the pit, for my return. You do not appreciate me, that's it. Milton understood. He and I also serve, while merely standing and waiting. Surprised about Dale --he'll be back, I think. Damn it I owe him a reply to a long thing he wrote, an IM.
Yep, Jill was a loss. P'raps, p't-etre and quizas, in addition to the work-shopping, there should be a simple show-case, identical in every way, to the other options, but without the expectation that there will be further alterations. If you finish a painting, and it gets accepted, you don't expect to paint over it-- though comments might make you do something differently next time around.
Is there a flounce emoticon?
