My lovely wife, who has posted questions under my account before, has been finding herself reading the Dope more and more. She’s finally been inspired to make her first-ever account on an internet message board. Please give a warm Doper welcome to PaleAndTragic. ---

Welcome. **JSexton** and I have corresponded on various venues for a long time, and it’s nice to meet another member of the family. He’s always seemed like a very down to earth and level headed guy, and also pretty darn smart. I’m happy the two of you share an interest in the kind of stuff this message board is all about. Enjoy, Steven ---

Welcome, **PaleandTragic**! Whatever **JSexton** may have told you about us, well. . . If he told you we’re geeky/nerdy/boring, sorry to break it to you honey, but he was lying. If he told you we are hip/cool/brilliant, he was understating the glaringly obvious!😉 ---

Thank you, thank you for the warm welcome, peer pressure does work folks : ) Not so much goth, but a huge fan of the movie Clue, although I will plead guilty to the paleness.
