Are you still around?

You're missed.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:25, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Chris, Yes, I'm still lurking in the background. Job changes has made me re-assess my priorities, with less Wikipedia as a result. Flattering to learn that I'm missed. Anything special that I can be helpful for? Wim van Dorst (talk) 10:29, 31 October 2016 (UTC).

Nope, just hadn't seen you around, and so many of our old crew are inactive, just wanted to check and say hi! Written several Dutch Scout articles recently, thought of you.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:02, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

if you'd like...
