    Al, you and some other folks were banned when Polk switched from the vBulletin format to this disaster called Vanilla. To get yourself unbanned send Ken Swauger a PM with your IP. He will clear your IP and you can once again be the one and only DangerBoy.

    Good to see you post and hope all has been well with you.

    Living as close to the border as you do, I just figured you had been abucted by Canadians (check for memory erasing implants).

    Your cat avatar shows that you still have good judgement and taste in any event.
    Bac de bienvenue !
    (if you can understand that, you really need to check for implants).
