I hope I will be allowed to welcome back The Magistrate!

Saw a few posts of him and had me take a double take.

Advance search showed that he just rejoined us yesterday.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181332286

The Magistrate has been here since the beginning, has been a well informed contributor on many topics.

In the old days of moderators, he was the best.

While his courteous "sir" and "ma'am" would sometime anger youngsters, most of us welcomed this civility.

Welcome back sir!
