Hello fiosreach, and I am pleased you did not chicken out. Posting gets easier here the more you do it. Took me I don't know how long to do my first one, and even then I had a friend check it over before I posted it.

The only really scary thing about chat can be not knowing what is going on there because they are nice people. In the same way you lurked here for a while before posting your introduction, why not lurk in chat and get a feel of it. If you are polite and say hello, nobody will mind you taking a little while to settle in.

It sounds as if you go to some interesting parties - I hope you find this space as much fun.
