Would you mind doing the honors? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:16 on November 17, 2019 (UTC)
- Welcome Back! I'll be honest, you had me a little worried, thought you finally got sick of the place and I would have had to do your job! :) Seriously though, I do hope all is well. Anywho, glad you are back and a belated US Happy Thanksgiving! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:04 on December 1, 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, man. I've been very low active – some stuff going on in life has been taking precedence. Suspect it'll be pretty similar through until the New Year. Glad someone else picked it up – I had it on a lengthy list of stuff that I intended to handle. Hope you had a good holiday – mine was back in October! :>) Mlaffs (talk) 22:07, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- I figured it was real life stuff, so no worries there. I hope all is well. :) Yeah, I always try to wish my Canadian friends "Happy Thanksgiving" twice. Once in October and once in November, just to cover the bases. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:00 on December 6, 2019 (UTC)

Technical news
