Thanks for the warm welcome, **notfrommensa**. I _may_ be on tonight, but probably not on AIM. I’m going to need to run out and pick up a USB headset for that, so as not to wake the wife. Look forward to it. ---

In case anyone missed it, I was only ribbing Meeko over the .1% difference in our standings. Everybody knows I’m not going to win a damn thing from here, and I hope Meeko finishes strong for the Q. Smack talking used to be a big part of the game, and I’m obviously out of touch in the newer incarnation. I apologize and will be more careful of what I post in the future. ---

I’d like to give this a shot. I’m ready to give Meeko a run for his money for last place. I’ve only played a handful of real money games with friends and a bit of free money online games, but I’m looking to get better. I’ll set up the accounts and let you know my usernames when I get out of work. ---
