Welcome Stormi! Scylla was pointing out that your message was better suited to the MPSIMS forum of the SDMB… [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/) ---

This is my first post here, but welcome! Hey, it gave me a chance to check out the system before everyone becomes familiar with my “real” self. Heh. ---

Stormi, only moderators and administrators have that power. It involves more than a post. ---

Welcome stormi - creative start. How we going to do this ? I’m going with crossed legged, palms up and a steady “OOOHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM…” ---

Man, I can’t do anything right. Maybe I should go back in the closet and hide somemore. ---

Hey, don’t sweat it, Stormi-- Everyone makes mistakes like this at first. Manhattan, the moderator, will be along shortly to correct it, and everything will be fine. Getting a thread moved to MPSIMS isn’t a death sentence, and you’re likely to get a much nicer welcome over there. ---

Well, I’m sure he’ll be around shortly… > \*\* Please allow me to introduce myself… Seriously, **Stormi** , welcome to the Straight Dope. Yes, this is in the wrong forum, and yes, you should have waited for me to move the thread rather than opening a duplicate in MPSIMS. Since you see the error of your ways, let’s just chalk this up to a learning experience. Best of luck in your future posts. I’m locking this thread.
