On behalf of all the lurkers....
Not trying to be a rec whore, but I want to say Thanks to all the mods, contributors, and commenters here at RR. I have been lurking for a couple years now, but I check this site at least once a day. I don't have time to contribute more than a thought here and there. Its nice to be able get consolidated and intelligent information in one place, as well as differing opinions. Your work is much appreciated.
This season has been fun. It really has validated all the patience and hope I have had as a Reds fan for all these years. I look forward to an offseason where the expectations are high, and not just "We'll see what we have" or "We may be able to contend."

Spelling I can handle
Timely responses, not so much.
By the time I get around to checking the site, my thoughts have already been expressed by someone and the general conversation has rolled around to something else.
We’ll see. For now I am just going to be the creepy guy in the corner staring at all the asses.
"Avoid the Clap, Jimmy Dugan. That's good advice!"
no worries
the guys in the middle of the room are creepy too.

In any case (except ripping me off), welcome, and you can stop lurking now.

But I guess its possible

I doubt it
but I thought it was a strong coincidence that our SN is so similar in format. Kinda weird.
It's true.
I read this and thought “hold on, that guy’s not a lurker” before realizing it wasn’t you.
You know, I think that was probably his UK email address
my SN is my old UK email address…since I used it as my Yahoo login.
You signed up with a hotmail address, FWIW
and jm shares your last name…..who knows, you guys might find true love after all.
