I'm new here too. I had lurked for awhile but finally made a username. I come here for the particular mix of stories that inevitably interest me, but more for the comments. I don't comment much yet, both because I'm new and also I feel a little intimidated at times - everyone here seems very smart and experienced. I'm intelligent but the experience, well I guess that will change with time. :) I'd like to make friends, I guess we'll see there too.
