Where am I? And what's for Elevenses?

It's been the best part of a year since I was around these parts, and although some may look badly at me for my passing my return is heralded with a full in the face lack of excitement. Where are the humourously topical randomness postings that filled these hallowed halls of waffling that were the hallmark of TANKERx's reign. The miscellaneous drivel on the world at large. The gentle digs at Rafe for various reasons we've forgotten. I look back at the recent postings and realise that the tripe is just smelly and foul. There is a distinct lack of waffling, and no doubt a lack of caring beyond the device in your hand.

Is that life? The people cry! The item in your hand, it can organise it yes, but is it life?
No! we must reply. We have views, opinions and comments we type, spilling beyond the boundaries of portable technology.
But yet you cower, hiding in shame, in the forums whose title model your chain.
We are not so attached the users must claim, and I come to waffle hiding my pain.

I knew someone would have missed me. I think it's dreadful the posts in here that should be in Misc not waffle. Expect more waffle later when I'm back in full flow.

Good to see you Switchblade! I've been keeping my head low in the 6260 forum for the last month since I've been on a guilt trip for using Microsoft (smart) phones for the last year and a half!

TANKERx,

If I remember correctly you were like the biggest anti-Microsoft guy around, so I'm really curious as to what made you stay with MS for so long? 😮
And also, if I'm not mistaken, you've been defending Symbian on M$Mobile.com and other MS sites even during the time you were using MS phones...

I'm confused... :con? 😃

I'm shocked, stunned and pained to hear that. Once my nearest collaborator on this forum to smack the fanboys upside the headwith a 9210 turned to the dark side. Get The Behind Me Darth!

Either way no point hiding. I dissappeared through lack of time, but I'm back and being noisy about it, making my presence known. Seems we are pretty much only lacking Loonyworld and N9210 and the gang is all here....
