Hi **Genocide.** Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board (SDMB). This board is about a lot of things, but primarily, it could be said that we are about fighting ignorance. After that, we enjoy debating, fun and games, socialising, the occasional flaming and a good massage in the hot tub ! Why don’t you take a look around the different forums (read what sort of post goes in which forum -\> very important) see if it’s your thing or not, and perhaps read up on a few threads to get a feel for the place. Hope you enjoy the board 😃 ---

er… hi. Any chance you’d like to reconsider your choice of user name? I’m sure one of our friendly administrators would be happy to swap it over to something a little less creepy. How 'bout **fluffy bunny rabbits** or something like that? ---
