Hi Rebecca,

Yup, wish I could bring all those good friends back.  But sadly my duties as 
DJML Moderator do not reach that far.

Perhaps one reason that you feel that the topics are not as interesting is 
because of what was just discussed here on DJML . . . . The same topics are 
brought up over and over and you have read them as many of us old timers 
have, over and over and over?

.  Let me use this post to invite the other 350 members who usually lurk, to 
get into the action here, start a thread and participate.  If not, you will 
continue to hear from the same people, posting the same comments over and 
over.

Happy New Year to everyone.
