Well, I suppose if Phoenix is going to put my name in his post, I should take the time to add my reply here... *grins* (I'm amazed, too, that I recognize all those names he posted, despite my policy of almost willfully NOT learning people's names IRL)

I've been here for quite a while; not quite the very original first group, but soon after that. Phoenix posted on the board that I frequented, looking for members... I checked the site over, and then emailed him asking him about the Warders, and if we'd get our own Org. We did. *grins*

Anyway, I remember a lot of stuff that I'm not going to type here. *grins* I'll just say that among other things, I do have one of the extremely rare DM t-shirts. (Is this a collecters item? Does that mean that it's going to be worth money? *grins*) I also claim single responsibility for everyone else out there who's a frequent grinner.

As for why I stay -- DM is a great bunch of people, even if the particulars change over time. I've always enjoyed being here with you all, and doing what I can to help. Besides, I've got too much free time on my hands, otherwise... *grins*
