Gotta say that this bunch is the best on TBD. I'm a newbie, but I've been greeted warmly and not chastised though I've made some weird (if not bad) posting decisions.

Thank you all for being who you are. Your combined nuttiness (and occasional asshattedness) is very much related to and appreciated. And a public thank you to Ms. Pants for informing me of the group's existence, intelligence, zaniness and warmth!

I look forward to continuing to be a valueless contributor to this fray! And here's a warning: I'm an unapologetic asshat. I don't seek to offend, ever (let's join hands and sing "Give Peace a Chance!"), but I'm not always cognizant of the effect of my words.

Know this: I love everybody.

And thanks again for this little oasis on TBD and in the world.
