Did you all miss me while I was gone? Did you even notice I was not here for several days? Does anyone care I had a prize winning paper?

Isn’t this entire thread simply an exercise in silly, amateur comedians who sadistically enjoy each others jokes? Wait, is this observation itself a light exercise in said direction? @anon61221983 where can I get professional help?!
