Well, here I am. I would like to introduce myself and give a little background. I come here on the suggestion of **Chewie** from [JJR512.com](http://JJR512.com) where I am a moderator. I was looking around and decided it looks interesting here. I am also a member of HWC, MIS, F3D, and last but not least, XiBase. Thank you. ---

¡Bienvenido! La documentación, por favor. ¿En qué puedo servirle? ¿Cómo está usted y guano? And what the fuck do all those acronyms mean? By the way, in case you haven’t guessed, I’m the man from U.N.C.L.E. ---

Hello, Wetling. These chaps like good spelling, sound arguments, cites for your allegations\* and laugh at anything. Who is Chewie? \*I’m sorry, I haven’t got a cite for that 😃 ---

Sorry, those acronyms are the short way of refering to other message boards I visit. Here are the meanings. [HWC-www.hardwarecentral.com](http://HWC-www.hardwarecentral.com) (now run by facists) [MIS-www.Makeitsimple.com](http://MIS-www.Makeitsimple.com) [F3D-www.Force3d.com](http://F3D-www.Force3d.com) [XiBase-www.xibase.com](http://XiBase-www.xibase.com) [JJR-www.jjr512.com](http://JJR-www.jjr512.com) (my favorite message board) I guess **Chewie** is not his name here. That is just what his name is at JJR’s board. I will have to ask him what it is here and get back to you. ---

Howdy, **Wetling**. Friendly warning: You will soon find yourself neglecting all your other boards as you slowly (or not-so-slowly) become assimilated into the SDMB Borg-like Collective. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. \ ---

**oot and aboot** hehehe, how did you know to look there? I don’t know if **Mixy** will be coming over. She only posts at JJR’s infrequently becuase she is so busy. The only way she would be coming over here is if I tell her I really like it. So who’s gonna send the cash? ---

Well, he_ **llo** _ Wetling!! \ Welcome aboard the looney bin. Make yourself at home. I’m the resident hug-a-holic so, if ever you need a hug, just holler. And, for someone as goodlooking as you, that will be often, I’m hoping! 😉 {{{{{{Wetling}}}}}} [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-here-i-am/37149.md?page=2)
