So, I'm a super-new member. (This is like, my fourth of fifth post.) It's interesting and somewhat encouraging to hear about so many current members that I recognize having been lurkers and severely infrequent posters for so long. It has felt a little intimidating just reading the forums now that I've joined; I've been feeling that I must immediately make a name for myself with distinctive style and strong opinions. It's nice to see that becoming a solid member of a forum is something that may take a while.
And with all that said, I wouldn't be surprised (or offended) if my post here, amidst those of the veterans and current regulars, gets no responses...
