Today at 01:45 AM Actions…Arantor » Some folk know that I have a private shoutbox area... I am so glad it has an entire history, I'm finding comments from myself years ago that actually make more sense than my current thinking. (…)

Yesterday at 09:08 PM Actions…xrunner » @Arantor> Oh I'll ask, I love secret stuff - I hope it's not me ... (…)
Yesterday at 08:48 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> Though if anyone asks me privately, there will be full disclosure :niark: (…)
Yesterday at 08:00 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> No, I just prefer not to publicly mock people, I prefer to give them enough material to do it themselves instead. (…)
