I was hooked. I read a few then-current posts, then went back the beginning; I thought I might be able to contribute, but should not do so before bringing myself up to speed on the nature of things. I have read all of the CM and some of the RYS postsOgre Proctor Hephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428431147495287413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-22033645019115093102013-11-23T00:01:39.340-05:002013-11-23T00:01:39.340-05:00Oh,answer the whole question!
