Hail and well met. I'd offer you a drink, but I doubt that such would be appropriate at the moment **droll smile**. Perhaps I can offer you instead a place to sit and relax? One must think that one is tired after coming as far as I'm sure you have. I am not often the most easy of individuals to locate. But that is how I prefer it, and I've no intentions of changing too soon.

But I speak too much of myself **hesitates** Unless you'd like to hear my tales? It's quite up to you, of course, but you are more than welcome. Sometimes it's nice to have an eager audience...**muses absently**

I am here, mostly, to share knowledge, a thing which I do not mind doing at all. I am happy to share the knowledge I have gained, and to help others learn. It is why I am here, after all. I have much knowledge, yes, and even some that I am willing to share, some I am willing to give away, and some which I carefully hoard away, never to tell another soul.

That is the nature of knowledge, after all: some is to be told, some is to be lost. It has ever been thus and will ever be the same. So turns the Wheel.

That knowledge which I do choose to give, I give freely. I encourage you to take advantage of what is provided here. So read, and share what you find with others; knowledge is most potent when possessed by many.

I have much to share, if you are of a mind to read through all of it. The choice is yours and yours completely.

May you find knowledge of use to you. **bows formally**
