good to be back

Thanks for all the hard work getting the forums back up. I was going into withdrawal.

No kidding! My hands were all shaking, and I was breaking out into these cold sweats! I tired to satisfy my cravings on other forums, but it just wasn't the same.

Kudos and congratulations on the forum's return. Very pleased you are back.

In the interim, I couldn't even tell my local MB dealer whether there would be a 2005 SL55 (my '04 version arrives in about a month, and as I get a new car typically yearly, that will retire my '03... which will normally be traded locally unless someone wants it desperately)... they all asked me for information and there was none:-}.

Anyway, I don't understand the business model for keeping the site financially viable, which it deserves to be, but I do surely welcome you back! Good luck!

And where went the prior posts?

Did the history of prior posts disappear into cyberspace? Guess the search feature won't be as valuable now.

Down for about 12 days in a row. It was horrible.

Up again about Nov 13.

Hoping to see more postings soon.
