> [@Kythereia](#): > > **SS** , it’s hopeless. I’ve given in. 😉 Well, since it’s progressed that far, all’s left to say is “Welcome.” I think you’ll fit in nicely. Remember to become familiar with the rules. Some here are wannabe moderators who will try to make you cry if you manifest a minor infraction (personal experience), but the most of us are more than willing to help guide you gently through doper posting mazes. Don’t take things too personally, if you can help it, and don’t be afraid. Ever. Those of us who truly want to fight ignorance want the ‘true you’ in your posts, and we know that _everyone_ has _something_ valuable to contribute. Enjoy your stay. (That’s what it’s all about!) Oh, and figting ignorance… that, too… [RIGHT] 😃 [/RIGHT] . ---

> [@](#): > > Don’t take things too personally, if you can help it, and don’t be afraid. Ever. “I’m not afraid,” says **Kytheria.** And the Moderator replies: “You will be.” Remember, we have nothing to sphere but spheres themselves. And welcome! (I’m moving this thread to MPSIMS. It started just fine as a request for info about how to pay without a credit card, but now it’s a welcoming thread, and thus belongs in another forum.) ---

We have nothing to fear but bad puns, apparently. Yeesh, **Dex** , if you’re at full pun speed this early in the morning, I’d hate to be your wife. Well, not that I’m applying for that position anyway. 🙂 Welcome aboard **Kythereia**! ---

Welcome, **Kytheria**! I’ve been reading your posts (well, some of them; I’m not stalking you or anything 😉 ), and thinking, "I wonder when **Kytheria** is going to realize she belongs here and pony up some bux? So glad you realized it, it’s a great place to be! ---

Another welcome aboard, **Kytheria** - and forgive the obvious question, but what can you tell us about the origin of your username? There are plenty of threads that explain the origins of us oldtimers’ usernames… ---

For some reason I find it a never-ending source of amusement when the mods bicker or pick at each other. Welcome, **Kythereia**! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uh-oh/267966.md?page=2)
