An added point for lurkers: Two and a half weeks ago, I was a lurker here. If you have been reading my recent posts here and the responses to them, you probably have some idea of how quickly I was accepted here. This is a great family. Thanks for bringing this up, Tubba.

I'm glad this isn't goodbye for you-- I still want to get some idea of what you really look like. Because of some of my early encounters with you, where you used some Japanese, and your chosen screen name, I pictured you as a sumo wrestler. Now that I know you go to university in the UK, I picture you as a sumo wrestler sitting in a library in some big British university. Somehow, I don't think that's quite right... :-)
