Samarasin: hello, sweetie. It seems my avatar skills have improved since I was here last. I see no reason why I won't be here a long while now.
Bryher: I wanted to be recognizable to those who knew me in person, so I'm glad that worked! I'm very glad to see you.
To all the other welcomers: forgive my lack of personal reply here: I've never tried posting here from an Android phone, and it lacks much of a full keyboard's charm.
