Hi Scott!!
Your post is so, totally right on. I would also like to join in and to thank
all the wonderful people who've made my stay here welcome - ranging from the
entire castle newsgroup that is like my home away from homes, through
specific people and dear friends who I never would have met without
LUGNET... from Matthew Wilkins to Matthew Gerber, and all the people in
between. Especially to Todd and Suzanne who have made it happen, and to
Jenn, Dan and Steve who still are. You guys are just enormously wonderful.
With love and wishing you happy holidays,
-Shiri
P.S. This is cross-posted to lugnet.people.newbie, because I hope new people
will indeed be encouraged by your post to join in on the fun!

| (...) Wow. Now perhaps I missed it when I first joined, but I don't recall ever being directed to .people.newbie.
