Glad to see y'all are still up and running, from WAY. back when.

[Cobalt]

We are much smaller but we're still going. How are you doing?

[Thorn]

Man, that's a complicated question. I have four kids now. Amazingly there are in fact people out there whose type is apparently Loud With Strong Opinions.

[Cobalt]

Four kids! Nice! Loud with strong opinions is pretty awesome.

[Gerhard]

Four kids?... I guess your swimmers were pretty loud and opinionated too!

XD

Well there's more, but "obsessive interest in swords" is hardly unique, and the rest feels like bragging. Mostly I was glad to see this place still up and running.
