Hi, y’all. 
Just a brief message to make my presence known.
Thanks to iampunha for inviting me to join.
I’ve read some of the threads, and I look forward to joining in on some of them as I have time… and to getting to know a few of you along the way.
Later
Sonny
A friend of 'punha’s?
Well, helllooo…
Welcome to your new addiction.
::waves an enthusiastic greeting::
::damn near falls off perch::
HI!
[sub]Nice punctuation and grammar. You’ll do fine here[/sub]
Hi, Sonny. I’m new here too. So far, I haven’t been bitten, which bodes well.
Well, welcome to the insanity 
By the way, when you have time will soon turn in to every waking moment, and some non-waking moments, just to warn you. It is only fair
Welcome Sonny the TenderHeart
clears throat
[sub]whisper by the way I used to have a life, be afraid, be very afraid, but don’t tell anyone I told you[/sub]
Sonny! Run, Sonny! These people never leave the computer! I used to be like you but now I’m one of them!

Get out! They’re closing the door! Warn the others!
:leaps onto table out of modbot’s arms:
It’s too late for me but you can get away! Run RUN!
:hauled off table by three modbots:
RUN! THEY HAVE STAR TREK!
:screams as he’s tazered, and door closes behind a bewildered Sonny:
It’s a maaaadhoousee…
Ahem.
Sorry about that, Sonny. Little flip back there. Welcome to the Board. I hope you will have a very pleasant stay.
Let me be the first then.

After reading through Arden Ranger’s and the other replies so far, I can tell it will be a delightful experience to share in this experience with y’all.
I’ve done the old BBS scene, internet chat, IRC, email lists, and a couple of online boards (e.g., The Motley Fool, where I became acquainted with iampunha, at http://www.fool.com ) for a number of years, so I’m well aware that they can “take over” one’s life very easily. I’m sure that on my days off I’ll try to grab as many hou… I mean minutes as possible on here. <grin>
Thanks to all of you for a very friendly welcome.
Sonny
Well, let’s see, you’ve been enthusiastically welcome, warned, and flirted with. I guess the only thing left for me to do is show callous disregard. (Darn it, I really need to get in these threads earlier.)
[callous disregard]So, you call that a user name? Whatever.[/callous disregard]
Yeah, welcome. This will probably be the last you hear from me, though. I’m a chronic lurker, like my mentor Catalyst (or something…). As you can see with my under 20 post count and months of being here. But, what the who, welcome.

Any friend of 'punha’s of a friend of mine, welcome aboard
[sub]Whatever iampunha may have told you about me, none of it is true. I’m very shy and retiring. I wouldn’t dream of flirting wildly.[/sub]
cough cough
choke choke
Sorry, my dear friend, just this cold that won’t go away. 
Welcome, welcome, welcome, Sonny. Glad to see 'punha subverted… I mean, convinced… another like mind to join the group. I can tell already you’ll fit in well.
Ahem
I am going to do you the favor of my life (or yours, or Sonny’s, or whatever), and “agree” with you.
[sub]She gets blackmail like you wouldn’t believe. If you eever get email from her, delete it immediately before you’re swayed by her innocent persona and connections to Kurt Cobain.[/sub]
I feel the need to inform y’all that:
Sonny is not my former roommate.
Sonny might not know about my former roommate.
I am still teaching him how to do searches.*
Anyway, welcome aboard, Sonny. Here’s to meeting lots of cuts guys and staying out of the Pit:)
*[sub]Don’t even THINK about mentioning the TMI thread.[/sub]

Phew! I had this feeling that he was. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
BTW, hi, Sonny! Have a great stay here.
Oh, gawd! How could I miss LifeOnWry?! Sorry, lovey! Welcome to the board!
But 'punha! The pit is fun! If you like that kinda thing.
So, Sonny… about this iampunha character… what do you know about him? Is that really his picture he posts, or did he get that out of a picture frame he bought at Wal-Mart? Did you know about his former roommate? And about that TMI thread…
Welcome to the boards. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are second only to deep and cogent thoughts. And all of them are trumped by a good flirt every now and then.
Hi, everybody.
“mordax” is Latin for biting or satirical.
I’ve gone by it for…5 years, in various places. Mostly Buffy-related (I mod at an ancient and mighty Buffy posting board - any fellow obsessive is welcome to the URL).
Sorta invited myself here, today. You all seemed cool.
Welcome Sonny
