Two years back, during a bout of very deep depression, I signed up on the Straight Dope as LostCause. Everything about me then was extremely negative then.
Two years now, it just doesn’t seem to be wise to keeping calling yourself a “LostCause”. Self-help philiosphy aside, I don’t want to be a LostCause anymore. So now I am ExtraKun!
Thanks for spending two minutes of your life reading this.
Two minutes? Who reads that slowly?
Anywho, congratulations on no longer being a lost cause. 
Welcome, with your new alias. It was likely a wise decision.
Congrats…however, you do realize that this is grounds for reinitiation, don’t you?

Not the goat! Not the hamster~! Hi Opal! And stop pointing that 1920-style deathray in my direction! Why is the Blimp of Doom flying overhead?
I didn’t even know we had a Kun, now we have an extra one?
Where’s the Kun? Where? looks around wildly
‘Kun’ means ‘with’ in Esperanto. What are you hiding? 
Seriously, ExtraKun, welcome, welcome back, and congratulation on getting out from under a buttload of crap.
We have a little reception laid on down the hall. It’s in the room marked ‘Initiation Room Three’–Hal Briston let us borrow it.
