Hello. For those of you from FFF, you’ll recognize the sig. I was Bast, but decided to change it to SmoothOperator because I was more familiar with the sig name from Opal board. I’m still a raw newbie over here and will do my best not to be too bad at posting, spelling and not trolling.

Uncle Beer and Arnold, congratulations on your new positions and titles. I hope that you got a raise. 😉

Hey, I remember Bast! Weren’t you assigned to be Cristi’s newbie? I hear she got drunk in a hotel room in Chicago due to a lack of post-praising. 😉
