Thanks for that. I don't know where I got the idea that one had to join. the M-D. Is that true of the individual unit's taverns? Like the Woodin Injun? Maybe that is what I am confused by because I thought one had to register because of the muster procedure. I was probably confusing that with the joint M-D Tavern. In any event I wasn't being critical, though I don't think it was taken that way. I was just surprised is all because the Tavern is such a social and easy way to communicate about various things, presumably for the most part gaming, not simply banter and gossip. In the case of this string it was just a way for me to let my opponents know that I might be out of commission. I panicked not knowing how long I would be away, and then it deteriorated in the tangents of weather, the denfinition of New England, horses in the wife's bay of the garage...so sorry if this is abuse of a sort. The irony is, however, that I needn't have worried because except for one person of the five that I am currently playing, the rest don't turn moves around faster than about one a week! So I was probably worried about nothing. Had the storm and power outage lasted that long, playing a game turn would have been my very last worry. [:)]
Thank you Sir.

Col. Ciampa,
There is no requirement that members sign up at the Mason-Dixon Tavern. Some are only interested in playing games and don't care about the fellowship of the tavern. At least one I know of had technical difficulties getting into the tavern.
Also, many who do sign up use fictitious login names. (This is not at all encouraged, as it makes it very difficult to help them when they forget what password they used and even the login name they selected -- which happens far too often.)
Anyway, do stay warm. This will all be over in a couple of months. Shortly after that we'll all be complaining about how hot it is [:D] !)
Your humble servant,
Gen 'Dee Dubya' Mallory
