Welcome and thank you for your service.

Enjoy!

Thanks, but I do not see myself as here to show anyone anything. I plan to post my opinions like everyone else, knowing there will be some who agree and some who disagree.

Welcome aboard. But beware, many folks here tend to be bad at arguing. (The ones whomI am thinking-of almost certainly believe the same of me.)

I was hoping you could!

Just don't get too preachy and you will be fine.

Is that. . .

 

[deannalw]

I'm not sure how to respond to that.

With disgust, like I did.

Welcome!
