Quarlofx,

Before I go any further, let me second your Yee hah!  
Congratulations, you got one hell of a nice kit, and we can all take 
some vicarious pleasure from the fun that you'll be having with it. 
Thanks for the message. We consciously worked to make this site a 
good place to hang out, with as few of the bad vibes that some boards 
accumulate as possible, but we could only do so much. We happen to be 
blessed with an extraordinarily helpful and friendly bunch of 
participants, and we're honored to count you as one. Just because you 
have your kit doesn't mean that you can slink away from us. There's 
much more of your story to tell, and we look forward to hearing it. 
As I like to tell you people who've just received their kits, don't 
forget to take food and drink once in a while.

Ed
