After many years of warnings, requests and reminders, the persistence of a few readers to troll one another ad nauseam has forced my hand.

I miss the Mackenzie brothers.

Does this mean we can finally have an adult conversation on the still unfolding mess in The Ukraine?
Hey, let’s not get carried away here. We’d need divine intervention before we could have an adult conversation like that. Though I hope this will help.

Thanks Kate, and all the best! You know how long I’ve been around; I’ve rarely posted of late, I just got sick of the unending flame wars.
“They shall not be missed…”
Goodbye, UnMe!

I hope this makes it more pleasant to run Kate. Thanks.
Thanks for doing this Kate. As a daily reader (and tip jar supporter from time to time…HINT!) from the very beginning I found myself increasingly disgusted by the actions of some on here for sometime already. They will not be missed.

Took a while to register – the account confirmation emails and the password reset emails I asked for take a while to arrive (approx 10 mins), and then appeared in my Junk folder.
To anyone trying to register just be patient… we all know it is worth it!

I completely understand this. I forward posts from SDA to people I know all the time, and I often have to include a remark about the comments.
I honestly have no idea whatsoever what it is about Kate’s site that attracts these types.
Its good to be back

Thanks for your help Kate!

Thanks Kate.

Cheers everybody.
I’m a little late to the party.
This is only a test. Do not adjust your set.
You let the likes of me in?
There goes the neighborhood!

This is actually nice, only enter username and password once, instead of for every comment.

Glad I can stay. Been two decades now and I’m too old to find another. Cheers Kate.
