hi! I’ve been trying for a month to register on this board and it keeps rejecting me. Do i need more rejection in my life? iIdon’t think so! This is my last attempt to be a part of a board that i find totally fascinating. If this posts, then you all will be hearing more from me. I’ve got lots to say. I can hear the groans now. ---

_Groan_ No, really, welcome to the SDMB. The hamsters have gotten so hungry they’ve started eating virgin usernames as soon as they’re created. Quick, post some more cuz if you get down to zero posts they’ll eat your user account. Keep them well fed! Look to the skies! Hey, what’s that over there!? _steals **kindaditzy** ’s only post_ Sorry, but it’s rather cutthroat around here. _Munch, munch_ ---

Well, i successfully did a new post and now I’m trying to see if I can reply to a post, even though it is my own. Of course, it has taken me two hours to do so as it keeps telling me that " the website is not responding, try again later". I don’t know what’s worse, a midnight traffic jam on the information highway, or the 7:00 a.m. traffic jam that I will be in tomorrow morning. Ahhh, well…you gotta get where you gotta get. I’ll try again to be a poster and not a lurker. ---
