They grow up so quickly. _::sniff::_ She registered today. Her username is Sakura, so how about giving the little lady a big SDMB welcome, ladies and gentlemen!! _(No corruption of a minor child, please. Remember, **The Dave-Guy is watching you!** )_ ---

Hello Sakura. Don’t go in the Pit. Don’t even THINK about going in the Pit. Bad, evil monsters live there and they will bite the heads off your barbie dolls ;). Just kidding. The only monsters there are Coldfire and Byzantine. :: Grin, duck, disapparate :: ---

Ooooo… “Sakura” means “cherry blossom” in Japanese. I assume DAVEW0071’s daughter is as pretty as a cherry blossom in April, as sweet as a cherry cola, as pure and innocent as a cherr… um… never mind. Welcome Sakura!!! ---

Hi, I’m the spawn of **DAVE**. Thank you for your really kind welcome. I’ve been hooked on the SDMB for most of the summer - reading over Dad’s shoulder, cracking up at unexpected sigs & whatnot, walking into doors because I was laughing too hard to stand upright - you know, the norm. This is my Oath to the SDMB - ::Places right hand on a stack of all the SD books ever written:: I, Sakura, promise never to enter the Pit, become a troll or annoying little know-it-all in general. I will try to keep my sense of humor when reading posts that encourage humor & an open mind. And now - if you excuse me, **Persephonie** , I’ve got a bar brawl to join! 😉 ---

Forgiven, Sakura! Especially if you continue to refer to yourself as the “spawn of Dave.” That’s great! 😃 ---

Haviving your daughter join the SDMB is better than having her run off to join the circus. If nothing else, she doesn’t have to run off. Nice ta meetcha, Sakura. ---

Hi, **Sakura!** If you’ve been lurking all summer, then you’ve participated, by proxy at least, in some pretty heavy stuff, so I for one have no compunctions about allowing you in the Pit. If you’ve plowed your way through all the troll wars, software upgrades, unexpected departures ☹ , and just general BS, and you’re still with us, you’re already a hardened veteran. So welcome! You should know by now that it’s not the know-it-alls that we mind, it’s the know-it-alls who, when presented with a cite that completely refutes their position, still refuse to post a humble, “Oh. Okay. Huh.” Say, you are also the name of a brand of oil pastel. Any relation? Have you got a sister named Crayola? ---

Welcome Sakura. On your left is Iampunha. He will flirt with you mercilessly if you let him. Have a nice day, and the pit isn’t so bad as long as you’re not a fool about posting to it. [see my past remarks about hypergirl being an idiot for silly things in the pit.] ---

Welcome, **Sakura**. This post was brought to you by another newbie trying to get his number of posts up so that he can become loved and respected. If he’s lucky, maybe they’ll even give him pie and Kilkenny. And no, he doesn’t normally refer to himself in the third person, but he got stuck in a pattern for a minute. Uh oh… he can’t stop! HELP HIM, PLEASE!!! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-daughters-a-doper/28053.md?page=2)
