G’day mate, Welcome to the chaotic jumble of melding minds, hearts and opinions that IS Straight Dope: The Boards. A bit of advice: never be afraid to speak your opinion but be prepared to back it up; share as much as you feel comfortable with; don’t limit yourself to either whimsy or in-depth discussion, and; enjoy the company - they’re mostly truly wonderful, intelligent and articulate people. Enjoy. ---

Hi, Dash! I’m new, too. Well, actually I am old as the earth, but never mind… Welcome to SDMB! Hope you find your stay here enjoyable, but the mints they leave on the pillows are kinda stale. 🙂 ---
