I seem to still have superuser powers, and the ability to edit other people's posts. I did open the editor but didn't try to alter or save anything. If you want to make a test post I'll see if I can change it

More digging, there's a lot of users with names that suggest search engine web crawlers, except some of them show posts with old dates.

My CNC time has been down for a few years and mostly limited to chip v-carving. I'm ...

Putting 5x7 characters on the leader was my favorite ...
