Eddie,

Welcome to the Mud! You have been brought here by someone we know as clever, generous, kind, passionate and quick witted. You'll find those qualities to be common around here. Many of the others are better at the welcoming address than I, and will point you to the appropriate threads and practices. I'll just invite you to the tavern for a dram or two and hope you feel at home in one of the best places I've ever been. Cheers, Dave
