I am glad that jar has been reinstated as he, along with Purpledawn, Ringo, and to some extent Dr Bill, have taught me more about the Bible than I would ever learn from any church or unexamined pronouncement from an unexamined life.
Perhaps with some luck, not only Ringo, but Arachnophilia, Nator, Brennakimi, and even Archer Opterix will reappear.
