And I’ll introduce myself:
I recieved the first Straight Dope when I was in high school back in about, '81 and have read every book since!
I’ve turned many people on to the ways of Cecil.
I’ve searched the web for this site many times over the years and finally found it about 6 months ago.
There has been so much to read that until now, I was just a lurker.
Today’s the day I finally join.
Hope you all don’t get sick of me, because once I start adding my 2 cents everywhere, I’m hard to stop!
Of course, unless the moderators ban me!
Well little lighthouse Welcome the wonderful world of the SDMB. I mostly lurk as well, so I can sympathise with you. These are a great bunch of people. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Ahem Hi, little lighthouse. Sorry 'bout that ‘first round’ thing, but rules are rules. We’ve tried to get them to rescind that one, as it doesn’t seem fair to the new folk, but the Dictatorial Evil Mods Of Nazilike Sensibilities enforce it brutally. Nothing to be done about it. Make mine a Guinness, please.
Welcome to the playground. Ignore that nonsense about the first round. The only absolute is that you have to send me chocolate - the good stuff, not that cheap waxy junk. Then I will be your friend and your life will be filled with wonderfulness!
