Welcome aboard, Winkie and blur. Get a good sig. Don’t settle until it feels right! And don’t forget to change it if it starts to feel wrong later. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > Ceci n’est pas une test. It’s not? This is a test. It is a test of my ability to add a quote to a post. Caliban, you have the honor of being the first person on the SDMB to be quoted by me. Nevermind that it is only because you were the last person to post before I decided to do this test. The honor still holds. ---

TP605 How is it, that this thread sits idle since 6:30 this morning, and then when I post a test, and reference the fact that I’m posting after Caliban, that someone else sneaks in while I’m typing and posts before me? I guess I’m just too slow. Welcome TP605. ---
