The recent absensce of JMD and Diana from the boards is very evident to me. I know how easily it is to become dependent on those guys, to pick up certain loose ends in discussions and keep things moving along. I know both are off busy with other matters now, but it will be nice when they are back on, full-steam, too.

jmd	15 Jan 2003
Shucccccks - thanks.... :):):) (how's that for a quick reply when it comes to important matters!!!)

Kazz	15 Jan 2003
Ophiel - Yes, definately!:) Jmd - your presence around here is highly regarded..:D:D, as is Diana's..:D:D Cheers Kazz :TQC

Diana	15 Jan 2003
Ophiel: you make me blush. And you warm my heart. It needs warming right now. :( I'm focusing on my exam which is in February and at the same time trying to move a mountain ("if you have faith as small as a mustard seed.......", is what I keep on telling myself). I can't wait to get back to you guys 'cos I miss you all lots! Ophiel, can I give you a kiss? :*

JMD and Diana, you better not disappear! I make referrals to you guys and love reading your posts ... and if I ever decide to explore a Marseilles style deck I will not succeed without you!

Khatruman	15 Jan 2003
Echoes the sentiments here!!! Two of the first people to reach out to me on these forums... and thanks especially to Diana that I am still here!!! Love ya!

Laurel	16 Jan 2003
Most definately adding to the sentiments. When I grow up, I want to be as wise and discerning as JMD and Diana. ~LAS

Yeah, who else could I "annoy" with random speculation about the Kaballah and (shortly!) an anticipated host of Marseille related questions? }) Macavity

MeeWah	16 Jan 2003
JMD: Your wisdom in things Tarot & non-Tarot are much appreciated!! Good to have ye back. Diana: Ditto on the first. Please do whatever is needed. We can wait.

I think I'll need to show this thread to people who know me outside of cyberspace... but then again, they'll probably never believe that this 'jmd' and I are the same person! Thanks everyone - but really, such compliments only make posts more difficult to post ... and let's face it, if some comments appear wise, it may be because we are in agreement! What I really value here are not so much the opportunity it gives me to read others' journeys' and the struggle to express myself succintly, but the wonderful learning and insights such provides in such a rich community... And just so as to make this a Tarot thread - it is through this wonderful implement that we are seemingly being brought together - irrespective of the differences of our ages, education, religious views, political preferences and geographical locations! (thanks again Solandia :))

Perhaps documents from each of us, notorized, would be more feasible. That's so true I'm sure if someone wanted to promote their deck/website etc. They would have their friends making comments, which is fine but how many of those are alias? I know that this forum has well over 2,000 members but how many of them have gone, dormant those who have left and come back under another name,and have alias? It would be could you know the real figures. Can we do this some how? So don't be shocked if you find out that I'm a known Tarot Publisher :D

tarotbear	23 Jan 2003
I re-edited it, and now carry a dozen roses, a box of Godiva chocolates, and a deck published by US Games Systems Inc around with me at all times!

DarkChild	23 Jan 2003

HudsonGray	23 Jan 2003
