Hello everyone. My screenname is “HannibalV” but you can call me “Hann”. I’ve been lurking for a while, especially in MPSIMS, but I finally decided to join up today. And I’m glad to be a part of smart people having fun. I’m probably going to be on the quiet side for a while, but I’ll be here and now I can actually attempt to add something to discussion. Woo-hoo!
Hi Hann, welcome.
You ought to do yourself a favor and dive right into MPSIMS with an introduction. That’s where all the freaks hang out, me included. You’re sure to get all the hello’s, unwanted advice and general good natured ribbing you can take.
Hi hann and welcome to the board.
Welcome, Hann. Enjoy yourself.
Jim
Hi and welcome! Hope you have a good time here, find a laugh or two, ponder something profound, learn a new thing.
That’s what we’re all about here.

Howdy Hann. Welcome aboard. Do what handy said and head over to MPSIMS for the big intro.
After that, never listen to anything Handy has to say ever again.
P.S. A big welcome back to Tuba. You’ve been noticably absent lately.
Do I really resemble Handy all that much?
Time for some plastic surgery I suppose.
Crap. No offense intended there Jack.
Hanni, you can listen to Jack, he’s O.K… He just posts like Handy sometimes.
Hi Hann!
I may not see you very often (I spend far more time in GQ and GD), but welcome to the board!!

I see you stopped at one post.
Just realized this isn’t a chat room, or just pacing yourself?
No need to lurk. Dive in where the pool is in No Fault mode-
In My Humble Opinion
There are no wrong answers there, by definition
Ya know, this really bugs me.
If you have nothing useful to bring to this forum (and chaffing at others is, imho, nothing useful), you might as well save the electrons.
Let me also remind you of the first rule of the Straight Dope Message Board, “Don’t be a jerk.”

Don’t believe TubaDiva. I don’t know what her attitude is, but it’s not mine.
I meant nothing special by it. Just couldn’t think of anything to add and the only thing I know about you is your post count so I mentioned it.
I guess that doesn’t apply to you.
Coldfire dumped on me too, when I thought he was being nice.
Your board is a lot nicer than those who run it.
That’s the reverse of most boards.
Someday this board will get new mods and everone will relax.
I’ll be posting under another name (or twelve) until then.
Until we get new mods, dear Drum the Drum, you have 24 hours to change that sig of yours. Do we have an understanding, mate?
Done.
Fantastic. I was previously unaware of the mental condition known as Moderator Fetish. Fascinating stuff.
Let’s see what Arnold thinks about this version.
Izzatso?
Since you already know about the first rule, let me tell you about the second one.
“Don’t piss off the moderators.”
And to quote from the message board registration agreement:
Goodbye.
