'Ello. My Name is Inigo Montoya. I used to be one of a multitude of people who posted under…a different username. What’s that business, “Nobody _needs_ the goat?” Have you even _tried_ the goat? I think I have some left… Like the location implies, I WILL deliver a straight answer to some questions. Trust only some of those. I am bound only to be forthright on Insurance issues, anything else will either be an honest attempt at a level answer or complete hyperbole which, if you believe it, you deserve the consequences. There was a tortilla answer once that I’m extremely proud of. Oh yeah, I nuts too. ---

oh, hey. i’m bob\_loblaw. i was here before, a couple years ago, around the time of that big server crash, and the temporary board was set up. i don’t even remember the name i posted under back then, so you’d not likely either. but anyway i’ve been off and on lurking around here seems like forever, and just decided for whatever reason to join up as a trial member this fall, and then the other day i became a paid member. so hello and stuff. ---

I can’t remember if I introduced myself when I first joined, so at the risk of repeating myself… I’m 25, female, and I do tech support for an ISP, I am single, and I live in Ontario and I had to shovel the driveway this morning because it snowed. ---

Hi, Like nearly everyone else on this thread I’m thirty-four. I live in the suburbs of NYC with my toddler daughter, mouse hunting cat and adored husband. When not watching the babe (and trying to figure out if I want another one) I work part-time in education. I’m also an aspriring writer with several articles to my name in the last few months. 🙂 ---

I’m Logan, I’m female (despite having a “guy’s name”)… I’m going to school in Louisiana, but I still call Florida home - Tampa, in case anyone cares. Well, I guess that’s my introduction. Pretty pathetic. Hey, am I still a “newbie?” ---

Hi, I’m Little Wing, _long_ time lurker, infrequent poster. (Hey, I’m still trying to figure out how to keep up with the few threads in which I’ve actually posted. Y’all move fast!) Anyway, I’m 41, female, married, with one stepson and one dumb-as-a-rock (but sweet) dog. ---

Hi; I’m movingfinger, and you should be familiar with the poem that line comes from. I’m a certified codger of 62, I design homes for a living, I live in sin with my girl friend and four cats (well, I don’t exactly live in sin with the cats, really, but let’s not get into that), I live in the Los Angeles area but will be moving in the next year or two to either Utah or Oregon. I am politically harmless and useless, voting for such luminaries as Goldwater and Clinton and admitting it publicly. ---

I’m much too shy to open a thread simply to introduce myself (I’d be afraid noone would notice) so I’ll take the chance to say “Hi!” to everyone here instead. I’m afraid I accidentally ate the calamari…and the llama :smack: . Do I stll pass? ---
