As a 'newbie-stranger' (in the lexicon of this little world, I guess I'm comfortable enough with that label for now), I am thankful today to whitman o'neill for helping me figure out just quite what is happening in here. Though I doubt the pilgrims were the first true strangers on planet earth (surely that started with the wanderings of far more ancient hominids). And I don't type fast enough to get out of this category anytime soon, but I don't feel strange in here with this crowd at all. I'm open to any advice you veterans have for 'stangers' who are trying to navigate this site.

I'm enjoying reading all of you....(intelligent talk) So then, I am also thankful to Anu
