Howdy, everyone,

My name is =^…^= and I’m a 26 year-old male living in Chicago. I was an active Doper a few years back (under a different name), but stopped posting once the site required paid membership. Over the past several months I’ve rediscovered just how great all of you guys are, and want to become a part of the group again.

I’ve missed you. 🙂

I’m pretty sure the Mods frown upon posting under a new/different user name. TubaDiva was very helpful getting me re-signed after a year-long lapse, you might want to contact a Mod.
