All right now. Pay attention; there will be a quiz later.

Thanks for all the kind responses. This is my second BB, and the first I’ve participated in that covers such a wide range of topics. I guess I posted this thread because I hadn’t connected at all with anybody here. However, just after I posted this, I noticed I got a response from Crunchy Frog in his welcome wagon thread in MPIMS. He’s doing a good service with his tongue-in-cheeck greetings.

I’m just happy this thread led to some good discussion. To tell you the truth, after I thought about what I wrote, I feared I might be attacked. I was just trying to be honest, and I’m glad everyone answered my concerns directly.

BTW, I am male. So sorry, Chief Scott, no boobs here. 😉 – oops, I smilied you. I guess I’m not in that small, vocal, smiliephobe minority. 😛
