Welcome back Lazarus
I am happy you are back to our community. I was surprised today morning when I saw a couple of answers and comments from you. I never knew why you decided to go away, but I'm grateful you are back. For those who don't know. Lazarus was a great asset to this community (I would say the greatest, but someone might get offended) until he decided to leave a year ago. I hope we will start seeing a lot of your clear and good answers again.

Thanks everybody! I didn't expect to be missed.
Bienvenido de vuelta! Welcome back Lazarus!
I'm glad to see you back in action. I have seen some of your legendary posts, and bout are they informative and instructive! Good stuff!
I know that in the last few months there have been a few very interesting arguments that could have used your highly knowledgeable input!
If one stands and waits long enough all the good things will revisit ,
and to prove the point you have resurfaced to fill our posts with wit,
wisdom and your usual insightful comments, welcome, and arise
again dear friend.
Lazarus was a great asset to this community
You don't get to say ... was ... !!! His contributions are timeless!
I like the caption:
The Legend Returns!
For those that don't read between the line, or the speed readers that only pick out key words:
Lazarus ... asset ... returns.
To an enthusiastic and dedicated learner of the Spanish language this is like Christmas and birthday all rolled into one.
If there's anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable .............
Saludos.
Since there are two threads started, I'll say the same thing here. Welcome back to the forum Lazarus. Your posts inspired me to become involved in the forum. I hope you are here to stay! 
Didn't see you post...I had sent my own.
Welcome back, Lazarus! Yes, indeed, you were missed!
From the time I started on the Forum, I purposely sought out your responses. I learned so much from you! Then, one day, you were...well....gone.
BUT, today is a happy day! 
So glad you are back!!!
"If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked you a cake"!

Eres muy modesto. Pero, ¡sí se le extrañaba! Nunca nos conocimos tu y yo, (hace un año yo era solo observador del foro, ya no había participado) pero me he beneficiado de tus respuestas y explicaciones. Yo esperaba que te regresara. 
For those of you who aren't familiar with Lazarus' ability to explain some concepts that are difficult to grasp for us Spanish learners, here's one of the many bookmarked posts I have, this one about the (wrongly-named) reflexive verbs:
How do you explain SE, why is it in the sentences
¡Bienvenido!

¡Que gracioso!
You were really missed, and often cited in your absence.
Oh my goodness -- Happy and wonderful news.
