Even though I dont know who you newb is I have read everything you wrote.
Just signed up today so I could post a few thoughts.
Great job by the way although I think you may have given you Identity up from the first post you made.
ie. when you said you saw you friend and aked if he spoke port..... that I believe would have been an inside joke from the way it was writen, and if he was on top of it he should have known who you really were.
None the less I think that you post have been very well writen and I have enjoyed them enormously.
Youre one of the reasons I even started up and reg. on

thanks for the fun
