OK, here I am. I admit it. I've been lurking for months... All ya'll have lots of interesting discussions and fun, I note, and I'm mad to attend Wordapalooza (but no bucks for it). I've almost posted any number of times. I've gone and looked up "YART" and "ayleur" and some other stuff. I'm really something of an addict even though I know I'm a "stranger". So forgive me, and I'll try to maintain this burst of bravado that has me posting for the first time to AWADtalk!
