Hello from the newbie

[L Verge]

Kate,

Several of us that joined this forum at the very first had similar experiences on other sites and were very worried about what the general public - especially young people -- might think about the nastiness and crudeness that they were seeing there. We had worked with Roger before, and he has been given the nickname of "The Politest Man on the Internet." We tease, we disagree on points, but nine times out of ten it is done in a respectful manner. It has been very refreshing for me to work with the fine people on this forum.
