My glowing reviews of this messageboard have made a good friend of mine curious enough to find this place on her own and make a test post here. She is not yet very familiar with the concept of messageboards, and like me, English is not her first language. But as she is a writer (educated as a journalist ) I think she should fit right in. Give her a warm welcome and…bring on the squid! ---

I’m often both. The only reason these people put up with me is I have an emergency backup squid in the bathtub. Welcome aboard, **Miss Einighausen**. -D/a ---

In her defence, it _is_ currently the middle of the night, on a Saturday where she lives. Surely she has better things to do than to post on a message board. I, of course, don’t. Curling’s on. And later hockey. I’m drowning in Canadian clichés. ---

I’ll pass on the squid, but offer a warm fellow Doper welcome to Miss Einighausen, who, like myself, seems to be a traditionalist (using “Miss” instead of “Ms.”). As has been stated, being a journalist, you’ve decided to join the most intelligent and articulate message board on the planet, and you are most welcome. Quasi ---
