Oh, ok. Good thing you weren't trying to imply that I'm big-headed, then, 'cos that'd be a serious mistake (and also, really inaccurate)...

You appear to be digging a hole.

Don't worry Sinnie.
I like your big head

you neither convey that impression nor do i get that impression,
you seem far too nice.

But I'm *not* nice. I just tend to play well with clever/witty/smart/sarcastic folks, is all. Take that as a compliment, because it IS one.

for my part i am as deeply philanthropic as i am downright nasty,
it just depends on people and situations.
besides, i dont think ive encountered one nasty person on HL!
luv ya all!

Well someone's gotta keep you fcukers on yer toes. (or off them and in the drink - why else do you think I invite everyone round to mine, it's not an act of kindness, you know, more a deep-seated desire to watch goths swim ).

Next!

I was of of no help, was I?
Ach well, shit happens.

Welcome aboard. Having been around a while, I guess that you know your way among the generous/cranky/cryptic/warm/social/insighful/endearing* group we known as HLers.

* I wear that I was not thinking of anyone in particular when I thought of the desciptions.

Ah, lurkers! The unseen presences that move amongst us, like the love that dare not speak it's name...

... sorry, it's late and I should know better than to attempt to wax lyrical after - um, two bottles of Pepsi Max...

I'm unsure as to whether or not a welcome is in order, as I don't know just how tongue in cheek the original post was meant to be. If it's not, that only begs the question, why on earth would you bother looking on here for 3 years!

I personally found HL - well, General Chat anyway - a bit "in-jokey" when I came here, it took me about 6 months, probably even more, before I felt that I was really a part of it. And it's no doubt even more like that now, since there have been meets, friendships, romances, and so on formed between many of the "regulars".
That's all it is though - friends do tend to have certain in-jokes, or at least things they refer to when talking to each other... a lot of things people now talk about on here have actually happened *gasp* in Real Life ! I have spent much, much more time in the homes and hometowns of people I've met on here than actually typing posts - and that's no mean feat when you see where I am in the statistics .

BUT I don't think there are many here who would want to make anyone "new"(or not so new) feel excluded in any way. I might not speak for everyone but I certainly don't see it like that. There is real friendship, not cliqueship. The poison door is always open

Fantastic sum-up, sweet Claire! Loverly! And thanks!
