Introduce Yourself...

[imamartian]

I reckon we need an area where we can say a bit about ourselves... the profile thing doesn't really say much, so it would be good for us to go 'freeform' and let us know all about you. You never know, if we all are sensible about it, and it doesn't get hijacked, it might become a 'sticky' and a good reference for current and future friends.

Plus, we can edit our posts in the future, as we discover new things. And we can link to pics of our projects... etc.
