I really miss him very much (more than my gf).

Hi folks. I'm probably speaking for Carl, too, by saying that I really feel terrible about this. Carl and I originally contacted Alistair and set up the agreement for him to participate this week. Both of us have tried contacting him this week, so far unsuccessfully. We will keep trying, and hopefully he'll still be able to join us, even if a bit late.

Hi, all,
I was expecting to be sent some instructions on what to do (am currently moving around Scandinavia). carl_trusiak@hotmail.com's email arrived today, followed shortly by that of joseph.aloysius.gilvary@census.gov. No email arrived from anyone else yet, which is odd, since I've been checking every day.
Anyhow, sorry for the messup, I'll do my best to work through the posts so far. When does this story run until?

Of course nobody would complain if you kept posting afterwards...
Kind Regards, Ilja

Hi Alistair! My email bounced back for some odd reason -- and you've not been on AIM, which is my normal way of contacting you
Anway -- it's good to have you around.
