Isis, please, not in front of the gents - I want them to keep their dinners down! You are the focus here!

But truly, as Punter Poontang said, a lot have been following you even if they weren't posting, and we'd become used to your gentle feminine presence, and we'd missed it. Such qualities are in short supply in the sea of testosterone here. Oh yeah, and we missed seeing your hot avatar too, particularly as it isn't an avatar! Many must have thought you weren't coming back, but when that day does come, I am sure you will farewell us.
