Welcome to the group; be aware that we eat newbies. You're lucky. A
couple of years back it would have taken a half year of hazing for you
to be marginally accepted. We can forgo all that with light razzing if
you distribute some healthy bribes; we're not immune to graft here.
One thing: you have to change your name. I'm the resident John here
and it's really in your best interest since it seems you might
actually post relevant and useful stuff. You don't want to be confused
with me and my drivel (this post serving as an excellent example). :)

Are you a JET? I don't remember many posters here from Kyushu, much
less Kumamoto. Sit back and enjoy!
