There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – The Outer Limits.

I must say it is very confusing but what I think has happened :

A direct swap of both User names and Office held.

Partial swap of Personal information - don't ask me which parts - it is too confusing for this old feller!

Edit - and Avatars are wrong too.

Edit cross out join date -

A swap of Avatars

You have to remember that in fact we did let them play with the Infinitely Improbable Drive as a test run, then last year happened, so we figured we should keep the Infinite Improbability Drive locked away infinitely

You are my friend indeed, and I will stand by you even in this a dark hour. I will not desert you.
I was just pointing out a fact and;
We are merely exploring some possibilities;
Can it be that you have exercised a "Vulcan" mind meld and thense the Infinitely Improbable Infinite Improbability Drive is reacting to your thoughts ?

It is sad and I really feel for you as I have no idea how to break that contact . Much less what can be done now to shield us from the what might be the effects of the Infinitely Improbable Infinite Improbability Drive as it is now missing.

And I state for the record that it is not even a proven fact that these effects we are all experiencing are even related to the Infinitely Improbable Infinite Improbability Drive ! It is just a hypothesis. There could be other explanations for the circumstances we find ourselves in.

This is no time for hysterics, we must gather the facts wherever and whatever they are and try and cope with the situation.
Until the facts are in, innocent until proved guilty ( and I will still be your friend).
