We get so many people who just barge into chat, yelling about random things and making it icky for the rest of us; but you actually took the time to get to know what it's like and then *joined* us, rather than trying to take over. I like that. ^_^

Newbie of the Year? Hey, I wanted that award!

(Hmm... that's got a nice ring to it. We could make a movie.)

No, I'm kidding. :) A great big welcome, twistinside, and I hope to meet you in chat sometime. It's always nice having a fellow newbie around, even though you've probably become more well-versed in RinkCulture than I have.

(*All* the archives? I just read the ones that won RinkAwards so I could see what I'd be up against. ;) I take my hat off to you.)
