Hi, and welcome to the SDMB. This forum is really for questions about the board, it’s rules, and ettiquette. If you wish to introduce yourself, the best place for that is MPSIMS (Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share). You can email a mod to have them move this thread for you, but don’t post it a second time there. 🙂 ---

Welcome to you, **The Seeker**! Prepare to laugh, to be given TMI and to learn about some things that you always wondered about and other things that you’d never even considered before. The people here are great and there’s always something interesting going on. This place is addictive, though… Don’t say that nobody warned you.😃 ---

Just ignore **DesertGeezer** , the mercenary sod that he is. _I_ am actually the treasurer of all monies collected for the Save the Hamsters Fund, so send your (compulsory) donation to me. My address is in my profile, because the mods don’t like us posting our email addies in our posts. Your contribution will make a real difference to the quality of life of the hamsters AND the quality of the board…(geez, do I sound like a telefundraiser or what?? :D) Oh, and g’day. 😛 ---
