One of my favourite writers did a book signing, at one of my local bookshops, a few years back. In the course of his address he said: "I'm an information junkie". This is a phrase which has stuck in my head because, I realise, I'm one too! This is why I like introductions - especially if I get to learn something new.

To me, learning new and interesting stuff is as important as anything else. This is one of the things which attracted me to folk in the first place!
