Be happy Satan came by. He’ll show you how to post a lot.

Here’s a dude with the **primo** count.

When people come calling him for a flame it’s hard not to work them over a little.

But he does take breaks to be nice to a newbie. Whataguy.

and thanks for sticking up for us gen-u-wine newbies.  
We responsible, non-troll, newbies need to stick together.

And about that English degree… turn right around and get something useful. That’s what I’m doing. I majored in English Lit (even _more_ useful :rolleyes:) and I’m going back to learn Web design. I’m now a computer geek in training. 😉

Oh, hi, Satan. Nice to hear from you like this. But why are you introducing yourself to me now? I mean, you already talk to me every night in my dre–oh, wait, you told me to _never_ tell anyone about that. Um, what I _meant_ to say was, “Thanks for the welcome!”

–Calredic, ever Thy humble servant (but _still_ waiting on that succubus you promised me…)

You may have fooled the others, but not me. **I** know you’re really a sock puppet for my arch-nemesis, Cider Lac.
