After much lurking (couple of years acutally), I have finally signed up (as a guest at least for now). I realize that this may be the most amazing news many of you have heard all day, so I hope you were sitting down. I expect that this first post will rapidly sink into oblivion - but at least I put it in the right forum - can’t get any more mundane or pointless than this! ---

Plus, I like a nice argument (I mean debate) I’m allergic to goats, but if you have a good looking squid in the back room… [/QUOTE] We have a RoboGoat MV especially for the allergic. What with discrimination lawsuits running rampant these days. I’ll check with **Hal Briston** to make sure he oiled it down properly after the last use. It had a bit of a kerfluffle with the squid. A rusty goat won’t be quite as pleasant for you, but we’ll make it work. It’s not as gentle as the real goat, but I don’t think you will suffer any ill effects. No more than would require a tetanus shot anyhow. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] Welcome! I’m greasing up the goat.
