Hi Achrisfox, welcome to h2g2.
That's a long introduction, and you have got a nice homepage. Is that you in the picture with he child?
By now you should have been greeted by an ACE, to help you find your way around here. I think they missed you because you waited a long time before updating your space.
Considering myself, I am a guardian angel (not an ). We are a group on h2g2 who also help new people.
If you need to know anything, ask me or another one of us.
To see what you can do more with private spaces or otherwise, just visit my site by clicking on my name.

Thanks for the welcome. I guess it is a long intro, but I like to be thorough and can become long winded. At least my nickname is only one word. Some of them I have seen are quite elaborate. Have to figure that out.
Thanks for checking out my site, it's my first and I'm a little shakey. No, that's not me in the picture. Just an image I had. I did take the shot of the doorway at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and altered it to look like a painting. The bar is in my home.
I don't usually rush to post when I join an online group, that's why the lag, I want to be sure of what I am doing, have to decide whether or not I can find my way around and be certain of what I want to say first. Testing the waters, so to speak. Then, as you can see, I go on and on. Each time I add more about myself and my interests.
Ok, who cares....
Thanks for letting me know that you are available if I need you. I've been trying to be less of a lurker and more active with the communities I join, so I may need to check in with you.
Thanks, again. I think I'm going to like it here.

Hi,
don't worry about the lag, there are so many timezones involved on h2g2, that it may take days to get an answer, if any at all.
In fact, you happen to be the first person to answer my initial greeting at all, so I thank you.
Lurking around here is no problem at all, there is only a small percentage of the researchers who post at all, but it is fun.
There are only a few threads where you have to know exactly what is going on, before posting into it.
There is no real need to create a longer name, but if you want to, use the 'preferences' button.
Consider this place as a miniature internet, it is full of links to unexpected places. And if you want to know how all those intriguing personal spaces and other entries are made, exchange the letter 'A' or 'U' in the url with 'test'. Through the 'contribute' button you can find the sections about GuideML, the language used.
So again, happy surfing.

Thanks for all the pointers. They will certainly come in handy as I find my way around.
I see by your profile/personal data that you are from the Netherlands. My sister has been living in Winschoten for the past 3 or 4 years. By the photos I have seen, it is a beautiful country. They vacation every year on Vlieland.
She and her boyfriend visited last October (not this one just past) and we spent the day at the World Trade Center. We have many pictures that won't be taken again. Funny how things happen. He thought that we Americans were violent by nature and his family was aprehensive about his coming to the US.
Well, enough of that. Thanks, again.
