> [@d1opez](#): > > I originally thought this would be one of my random internet rabbit holes I forget about the next morning, but you all seem like great people. I guess I’ll try to read and contribute where I can! A word of advice: The people here are generally great, but they’re also generally very smart. But like many smart people, they tend to be serious nitpickers. So don’t be discouraged if one of your posts is nitpicked to death. It’s the way of the SDMB. Please don’t take it personally and quit like many another newcomer. ---

That said, I feel that this a great online community, which is probably why I spend far too much time here. Every day. To the OP: Welcome! (That’s you, @d1opez!) ---

Welcome! Your username sounds almost Spanish: Son of d1op. Curious name for a remote ancestor, but hey! people have strange names today too. ---

Welcome, d1opez! As we told Mrs. Robinson, stroll around the grounds until you feel at home. ---

> [@Frodo](#): > > Did we get a new goat after the unfortunate incident with the squid? The Goat Tariff has put a hold on new initiations. It’s also made Mariah extremely hungry, so don’t believe the “The pool is open, come on in!” sign. (Yet another “Welcome!!” to d1opez.) ---

Welcome! The board was founded back when you could still have intelligent discussion online and trolls and those with an agenda quickly lose interest (plus they get piled upon if they’re posting bullshit). I’ve been here over 25 years and still check it out every day. ---
