> [@needscoffee](#): > > Hardly a neighborly welcome. I owe you an apology. I intended that to come through as more akin to banter than hostility. We do tend towards a board culture of precision and a tendency to correct or dissent. But that’s no excuse for making someone feel disparaged when they just came to the party. I really meant the welcome part. ---

Welcome to the Dope! I started lurking many years ago, and never thought I’d still be an accepted member of this place after 20+ years. I love this place, and I hope you stick around and enjoy it as much as I have. ---
