Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And auld lang syne! 

Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear, 
For auld lang syne. 
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, 
For auld lang syne.

What kind of reaction do you envision if you were to change your clan name to "The Billy Graham Crusade"? Anyway it was a complicated decision as I took in many factors. I did make a bet that I would leave my clan if we didn't make it to page 1. I am obligated to finish my clan games, so I thought I would offer a name change that was completely opposite of the identity of the original, yet also represented the "wit" that I so luv about our original identity. Many in the clan do not remember the old days where the Apostles and myself were the brunt of early clan goading because we were a bunch of fundamentalist nut-cases. I tried to dispell that thinking by saying chess was a spiritual game for no other reason that there were limitless possibilities. Anyway, as you can tell, it is a little more earthly identity.

I have one reservation about accepting ivanhoe's support.

Will you be attempting to obey the Law of Conservation of Troublemakers?
Will your acceptance of my return be contingent upon one of my colleagues being offered up in a sacrificial ban to preserve the delicate balance here?

This is a relief. We wouldn't want to repeat this:

Yes, Ivanhoe did us a great favor with that illustration, as Pradtf points out so eloquently in this quote. I wonder if Pradtf is also prepared to extend the olive branch to Herr Dr?

Hey! That ain't fair! I was the one who recognized pradtf as a cult leader/figure/recruiter!

How bout' I get a little credit for pradtf not being able to recruit "kids" to meet "the good doctor" without a parent present?
