Maybe it is time to reverse the process?

Not a damn mini worth buying around here since we gave up trying to find them.

How do you like it so far?

Etc. etc. etc. Farcical enough for you, yet?

Alistair: Good to see you back.
We need more people around here who really know what they are talking about when it comes to Minis.

Alistair,

Glad to see you back.  I recently rejoined the fun myself after being away for several years.

I bought a mini from you but l always remember the horror story when you were running a car rental agency back then and some kid working there moved your mini on the lot but didn't realize it had no brakes , CRASH

Seemed funny at the time

Welcome back A.  The names of the offenders have been changed to keep stirring the pot, but by and large it's the same old place.  I'm still bashing around in the wagon from Pennsylvania, and B.C. is now the Werewolf, but I'm sure you can still spot him by his over reliance on ellipsis...

Like he said.... one A$$ left the board, and this one (mini4ever, robster etc. ) keeps coming back.  They sound very similar however.

You missed the Robster et al gong-show. You'll see what I mean when he and/or his alter egos (the latest being Igofast) raise their pathetic heads, at which time you'll regret returning.

 After some time to regroup and focus on my family, it's time to try and get my long lost mini out of his dark corner again. Good to see some familiar names still around here.
