invitation to become a member of DRAFT

[Greg Truby]

Patience, you might consider posting editing your post to include a link to your other thread in the About the Board forum. That way people looking to help you or people with the same problem can find it more quickly; especially as time goes on and the thread drifts down the list.

Erik: this is a great quest! I just spent a while reading the whole thread, and as mentioned by a coupl eof other people: I have noticed more real faces in th elast few months than ever before.

Obviousky, I am a pretty recent addition to the MrExcel forum (compared to many of the venerable gurus who have graced not only this topic, but this forum in general), and I am finally starting to feel a little bit more like one of the gang. I have always felt that the most inviting posts have real live faces associated with them: it just seems more personal.

I guess I have always been a member of DRAFT and not known about it... started using this avatar back when I was a member of the Arador Armour Library (www.arador.com)... but alas, the message board was hacked, and not been rebuilt.

Slightly more recently than Arador, but still pre-dating MrExcel is this:

I like the consistancy of using the same (life-like... yeah, that's me) avatar and username wherever I go... people know who I am and recognize me when they see on other forums... and if you really want to knw who I am, just look in my profile: it's no secret.

It was a nice reply because you have made a refrshing and heart-warming contribution to this forum, trying to make it a human place DESPITE the fact that it depends so heavily on technology for both our ability to communicate and our reason for being here.

So you found the picture that my avatar comes from, huh... I forgot that it was in there. I haven't changed much, though that picture is about 10 years old now. Here is a slightly newer one, or check out the whole website.

I always wondered what you would look like in street clothes.

C'mon, I know you know enough of the lingo to realize we refer to "street clotes" as "mundane garb"

OK Erik, the Feds are no longer after me, the emails have slowed down, and my ex-wife has found me, so I guess I can join your club.
Are you happy now??

So is it Paranoia when they are REALLY out to get you?
