Big Brother

They are watching you! I got a neat little note on the top of the page when I signed in this morning, telling me that I have not posted in over two weeks. I am glad that they notice this, and yet did not notice that I have not signed in for over a week. Hmmmmm... Maybe I took a vacation to get away from things, and did not really want to check out the computer stuff!

Oh well... maybe this post will get them off my back for awhile!

Maybe the FTE family was worried, and wanted to make sure all was well.

It's a simple piece of code built into vBulletin.

It's a courtesy.

There isn't a person checking everyone's last-time-on and sending emails
