{{Wikibreak|TomStar81|in full force sometime in November or December. Presently, school concerns regarding the fall semester and the upcoming spring semester registration, class selection, and payment processes have compelled Tom to take leave absence. Tom asks that he not be bothered to return to Wikipedia unless his presence on a matter is absolutely needed, and thanks everyone in advance for their patience and understanding on this matter.
