Is the man daft? It’s Friday, there are no commentaries on Friday! In fact … who is this stranger? This masked man form out of the blue (or at least Denver? … … and why, pray tell, is he writing a commentary?

What can I say? After an extremely long absence from writing Seti commentaries, I somehow find myself before you, spouting my normal gibberish. In fact is has been so long since I wrote a commentary that I am tempted to give myself a Phoenix award!! :rolleyes:

However … I am not going to do that. Instead I am going to give that honor (in a somewhat perverse adaption of the original intent) to … David Whitney!

>Phoenix< – David Whitney – who appears to have been producing all along but just hasn’t been around these particular parts! ;). Welcome back, D!

Well the truth is that it’s been a long time since I commentated and there are many, many new faces, as well ans some new old faces (if that makes any sense at all, LOL). Some how I have manged to drop to 5th and 9th places respectively :eek: … and truthfully it’s a wonderful thing. Deep congrats to both the Doc and Farley for your recent cracking of the 50K barrier. I know I’m very late in the congrats but considering the feat I don’t think you can receive enough praise for it!

Cheers all!
