What I hate the most..

..is what I fear the most, in this case my introduction. So here I go;

Took me a ridiculously long time to figure out what to type here in my introduction, and to be truthful I still haven't got a clue.The fact that I've been lurking here for years now makes it a bit uneasy, even embarrassing to stand up and say "Hello!"
But now after this part is done and conquered, I might chime in on topics in Fragile Earth, being an enthusiastic observer of the land, sea and skies here in Finland. I really have no area of expertice (other than perhaps throwing the frisbee), but I know a little about a lot. Perhaps that's what ATS does to you

I'll try to keep a "common sense, open mind" approach and hope we will get along...so a firm hand-shake from me to all of you!

Well, welcome to the members side of ATS. Glad to have you!

I look forward to seeing you around the boards.

Happy posting

Peace and love

Hey there and welcome. I too have been around for a while, commenting only a few times. I just finished my personal intro like 8 minutes after you. I look forward to seeing you around on ATS.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride you're on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

*** Please have fun! But be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, troll, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & also for those both young and old on the ride with you.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!
