  A lot of new members are too shy to post their own intro threads so this generic welcome thread is the place. I hope all you new folks coming in, if you don't want to post an lone intro thread, will at least post here and allow us to welcome and get to know you.   has been running succesfully but it is in the Aussie section and a lot of folks from other areas may not want to post an intro there. Plus there are intro threads in other areas unique to certain countries.  This thread is a general, all-around place to make your intro. So get to it. :D  Rick
