Little hint for you: there is a multipurpose section titled "Introductions" where similar threads have been known to show up. If you see any in the future, let me know. I will alert the proper authorities; namely, the other people in my head.
Now that we have established that boring introduction to whoever hides behind the alias "ssl," I would like to propose a toast for no other reason than that of welcoming you to the asylum. Trust me, there is only one way out, and most of the time, you will walk back in through the hole in the ceiling fan. I know, because I did.
