I want to publicly apologize for making a complete hash of the thread posting conventions with my thread about emus, vuvuzelas, Kant, and Rupert Murdoch. Thank you to those who kindly educated me.

For those who have been here a while, it must feel like Eternal September on steroids to have all of these noisy n00bs come rolling in all at once in a gigantic wave. I hope you’ll forgive me, and I will work hard to learn and acclimate as quickly as possible.
