As we all settle back into our re-upholstered Lazy Boy recliner and reach for the remote that allows us to scan and select (form is nice, aesthetics are great, but function is the reason we are here), I notice a few new members. Some have names that are mildly recognizable and some don't; some are proven researchers or folks with something meaningful to say, and others soon will be.
May I recommend a new thread which can -- like an announcement board be wiped clean and updated periodically -- that will announce all new members, and allow them a brief opportunity to introduce themselves and their interests and expertise, and allow us to extend a welcome and make a new acquaintance. Lots of stuff can be put in the member profile eventually, or the announcements archived, as deemed appropriate.
But we have gone through a bit of a sea change that I sense will be ongoing.
