No longer welby1, but welby. I feel all warm and fuzzy now. Even a little moist. Thanks again Tuba! ---

Whoa! Do I need to read another thread to find out why you dropped the 1? And why didn’t you retain your post count? Yeah, I know it doesn’t matter, but now you look like you just got here. 🙂 ---

That’s okay dan. I registered as welby1 because I trickled away from the boards for a while and forgot the password. In the meantime, the e-mail addy I was using became inaactive, and instead of being a useful, productive member of society, I re-registered. Then I got to thinking that I really didn’t like the 1 after my name, and that there was a whole account sitting out there active taking up a user name, so I e-mailed Tuba and she straightened it out. As for my count, ah well. I’ll still be dispensing the usual high standard of advice, witticisms, and bile (in the Pit of course) that many have come to know and love. ---

Well… good to see you back, then! Of course, had I been sharp eyed, I would have noticed your registration date is Jan 2000, which would hardly make you a novice… ---

Speaking of name changes, **dtm** … what did you decide? I assume you decided to keep it, but I’m too lazy to look up the thread. 🙂 Congrats, **welby**! ---
