Thank you for the welcomes!
However. I do have to say that a couple of the responses I got to this post creeped me out a bit. Yes, I know this is the internet and perhaps some of you do have reasons to be paranoid -- I don't know. But if I was some kind of malignant sock-puppeteer, why would I openly state that I once had a different account on this forum? I could just have shut up about it. But to assuage any possible fears you may have, I can tell you that I don't have any bad intentions. I'm just here to read and maybe discuss as politely as is possible under the circumstances.
