1 Yes I missed you. I went into a full panic. But you're back. :-)

2 I missed you too. was it another attack on mu.nu?

3 Since you never do anything unintentionally, is "lotos flowers' a brand of lotus flowers? Is this a reference to Lord Tennyson? Are you moving to England?

4 Well, MuNu was down, and I assumed it was another attack, since some of my compatriots have been baiting the Islamofascists. There's some pressure to move from mu.nu to another server, but if I do I'll reverse the cash flow: as things stand, money is coming in rather than going out. Which seems, you know, like a better business model than the other way around, even for the online equivalent of a lemonade stand. And someday I'll buy Pixy a diamond ring or something, and we'll be square. Yup, Darrell: Tennyson. I knew someone would get it.
