Translating with DrWatson… this can take a few seconds the first time.
This is a genuine, complex translation. DrWatson protects commands, error codes, and log output while naturally translating the surrounding text. It’s translated once and saved.
Off-topic banter under the subject 'I am back'. David Grove asked who Billy Wheeler was and why his return caused a stir. Art S. Kagel joked that Billy was a former regular who vanished and that someone now claimed to be him. Mike Segel suggested Billy might have been lurking, and Richard Thomas added a brief remark. No technical content or resolution.

OK, I'll byte. Who is Billy Wheeler and why should his "backness" create
such a stir?
I think I am
David Grove
but apparently I might be Billy Wheeler

Ahh see there you gave yourself away, Billy would NEVER say "apparently
I might be..." he would say simply "I might by..." ;-) Billy is the
embodiment of simplicity. Anyway Billy was a common urchen in these
environs who vanished a while back. Now someone is claiming to be him.
Not me I have enough trouble claiming to be me. (Just try to convince
a draft board that you have a nickname as your legal first name, your
last name rhymes with a particular kind of roll popular in the New
York, and you misspell your middle name altogether!)

Art,
What makes you think Billy left at all? He could be here lurking....
Naw, that's too hard to fathom. Billy couldn't resist posting.... :-)

BTW, here's a free piece of advice. Guys, do not lift your nieces and nephews
straight up off the ground. Always turn your hip into them. Remember the little
buggers sometimes kick and they don't realize what they are kicking. ;-)
