You passed the “Test” test and the “Tapatalk” test, but as you joined in April but didn’t post until mid-June, I’m afraid I’ll have to fail your “New” test. Sorry. Wait a second–two months before your first post? You placed your test post in the CORRECT forum? No spam or rants or conspiracy theories or stupid questions that have been answered a hundred times before but you chose to disagree with the answers anyway? You aren’t really that rarest of the rare, someone who got a feel for the joint before posting? Then I guess I welcome you, except I’m not sure of the protocols involved. It’s never come up before. ---

“Clean” and “gentle” are not often used to describe goats, so I guess that would be fitting and meet. I just hope he doesn’t know what he’s getting into. The surprise is half the fun. ---
