Once again, I was delighted to see posts by starlifter on this forum; this time after a 2 year absence. For the newer people around here, he is a master Civ2 player and prolific poster as you can see from how many threads he commented on right away.
Starlifer, glad to see you back, glad that you are still hitting the ground running, and hope to see you at the GOTMs soon. GOTMs 146 and 147 are both active (few, if any, have started 147) and both should be relatively short games.
I suppose your absence was due to being called back to US air force post retirement. I am glad you are back safely and I hope this time around you will be here longer.
