It's lovely to see old-timers return. We had a census a couple of
years ago & discovered, to my sentimental pleasure, quite a few
old-timers lurking, and heard news even of Conlang-founders (e.g.
Ron Hale-Evans, iirc).

My memory for everything is a kind of grey haze in which everything
remains trapped, ghostlike and indistinct, never gaining the solidity sufficient
to warrant calling it 'knowledge'.

As for remembering you, used you to meet up with Colin Fine in
Bradford?

--And.
