Thanks to all the encouraging welcomes, guys. I'm a pretty diehard lurker, here and other places - I mostly prefer to soak up what a lot of my betters (and elders) have to say. But the warm welcome is definitely encouraging me to get a little more involved with the other topics on the site. One of the things I love about ETS is how open it all is. There's less dogmatism, less griping. Seems an odd observation to make in a thread about nincompoops, but damn, you guys are nice!
