It has been several years since I was last on SDF, I used to mull around on lonestar all the time when I was
working IT at my local community college, but then life seemed to get in the way. I have become so agoraphobic I 
have not left my property, only four times in the last three and a half year. I am hoping that talking, Phlogging 
and interacting with people will final help me go back out into the world again. But if I am here to stay I can at
least make some knew friends and learn as much as I can,
	
	I know that while this is not the nicest of topics to cover it is true and to the heart of why I have came
 back to SDF. *The GopherSpace(s)* provides a nice escape from the complexities of our modern web, its  simple,
stict content-based interfaces and hierarchical structures are things my my Autistic brain loves. The experience of
 creating a sense of nostalgia for the early non-commercial Internent. Thou I vividly remember Prodogy Online, but
before that we have an acoustic coupler modem for the c64 and could use Quantum to reach boards, but that was when
I was like 5 or 6. It went from liittle links and banner adds to everything is the and on top of that we are the 
product being sold.

	Smal rant over I really do hope to find a warm and welcome embrace here at the Fortress. Thanks All -DD
