My Intro...

[MTL]

Heya welcome aboard, nice to meet you Thank you for telling us your story.

I pretty much agree with everything you said, that is an excellent analysis. Congrats to coming to all that on your own! That is the crucial point, the total non sequitur of "some sort of God" to "the character in my favourite story book". People make that jump without even realising it sometimes I think, because they are so heavily indoctrinated that they just can't think otherwise. If people stopped at the former, things would be so much better. People don't realize how much they sound like a kid stamping their feet and claiming Santa really is real, while waving their Santa story book about. They can't see it; I wish we could pull them out of their bubble for 5 minutes so they could look at themselves.

Anyhow, don't worry about those limitations you gave, that's no problem at all It's a very casual friendly community, and we'll be happy with whatever you want to do. My advice is make use of the "Today's posts" and "My posts" at the top of the screen. I use these two almost exclusively, to find out which topics are recently active, and where there are replies to ones I've been involved in, respectively. In this way I rarely go through the actual forum structure unless I'm creating a new topic myself.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and enjoy the forum

Oh, thanks so much for the tips, I can really use that.

I was also wondering how to upload an avatar?  It's probably really simple, and I'm just looking right past it!!
