Hi - new member

Postby ronin » Wed Mar 24, 2010 4:38 pm

Just thought I'd step into the lounge to say hello and introduce myself. I started reading Jeff's blog about 1½ years ago and then migrated to checking the forums. A "lurker", I believe is the correct term.

This is my first on-line community adventure although I must say after having read through a few others forums (no specific subject areas in particular), RI is the one I keep coming back to because the topics are interesting, the member contributions are generally meaningful, and for the most part everyone is pretty forthright with their thoughts and opinions. I've learned things here, laughed at things here, and also had a few WTF moments here. Thought it would be best to join up and possibly contribute where I may.

Cheers

Thanks Sunny. I think that now, it's off to the avatar store for me. See if I can find something cool to wear,..

Hi, ronin, nice to meet you. :D Looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

And at the same time,

Thanks! I find it understated, yet oddly stylish. 8)
