OK...I'm in :)
Women were so under-represented in DRAFT, I had to join to help balance things out a bit.

Hi Cindy & Welcome to DRAFT!

From a purely anecdotal viewpoint, it seems women are somewhat under-represented across the Board as a whole, which is a shame.
 
Thanks for the welcome!
I suspect that there are more women than we know, but they've chosen a non-specific username.
There's a strong perception that there's safety in anonymity...to the extent that I wondered if it was stupid to use both my real name and my picture. But, I agree with Erik that there's value in having some sense of who we're "talking" to.
So...we'll see how it goes. If I start feeling weird about it, my avatar may go away, and I'll have to give back my lovely laminated DRAFT membership card ... ;)

I'm entirely thrilled to be a new member of this club...& what a welcoming committee!
It wasn't too hard for me to join since I went straight from the default "blank/no image" to a DRAFT member (knowing I could never match the likes of Van Pookie or the scary cat guy!
Hats off to a grand idea!

p.s.
Does this post count towards an MVP status or anything? I only have 9,000 something to go.....
 
It's been a while since I posted here (two pages) :-)
Welcome to dcwinter, Cindy Ellis and Ruthane!!

We are of course all individuals sitting on a chair at our computer... We give things and we get things here ... I am glad that this idea is contributing to a peaceful, open feeling on this Board. We share knowledge and we share some kind of friendship.

If one of you is ever getting near to Brussels, let me know! I like the adventure of meeting unknown people.

Whish you all a great time!

Erik

In a forum full of Excel geeks? I think you're pretty safe. And if you were to experience any troubles, just let Tracy (starl) or Nate (NateO) know and they'll look into it and let the member know he needs to mend his ways. And they can ban a member if they need to. Welcome to the DRAFT!


<HR>And Erik, you may want to look around on the floor below your keyboard. You dropped an "n". Your latest draftee's name is "Ruthanne", not "Ruthane". :wink:

Erik, thanks for the warm welcome & invite! Likewise if you should come to or through Seattle. I'll be off to Japan for 6 months myself so maybe I should look up Jindon & get a Fuji foto for his Avatar!

Greg Truby,
I am so impressed that you noticed the dropped "n"...after all it is my real name to go with the real photo!
I noticed your photo changed from last night to a sporting pool boy (& i love swimming...my name for my new account on the "other" excel board is SPLASH!...and this avatar photo was taken with me feet in the warm sand of a SanDiego beach...note the sunglasses indicating not taken in Seattle!)
Sorry didn't get to see your BAM/AHAA/MAAD photo...maybe you should open a photo gallery for your archive avataars...one of those fancy, rotating webcam features would be nice...like the one on this website: http://www.icongrill.com/restaurant_tour.htm .....can you do that in Excel? ;)
