Welcome and good to see you. This groups is pretty good about keeping
the signal-to-noise ratio down, which means some excellent discussions
happen in these premises. Enjoy.

I prefer Mozilla Thunderbird. You should too.

Welcome to alt.games.whitewolf! Glad to have another participant for
the recurring flame wars over whether Autochthon or Unicron would win in
a fight. (^_^)

I think you will find this is a very casual newsgroup; it is more of a
social club for roleplaying gamers than a structured discussion forum.
Off-topic and personal posts are commonplace, and nobody particularly
minds. So please, make yourself at home.

Bah, I tried other news readers. OE works great for news. It is only the
newsreader that stops me getting a proper email proggie.

Thunderbird. Fast, free, feature-filled. It is, as William Gibson put
it, all Edge. Get it now.

A nifty little add-on called OE-Quotefix makes OE much easier to handle in
general. And since I am the paragon of laziness, this is a Good Thing.

Guess I'll say finally hello as well, although I've posted now and again
in the past few months.

I'm Tyler. I post to RPGnet as DrFaust, for those of you who read the
forums there. I just started getting into Mage recently, making for
impeccable timing.

I've found some really interesting discussions here and it looks like
you've got a pretty good group here, by and large.

Actually, I keep a careful record of off-topic posters. Offenders will
be punished with banishment to an alternate dimension: The Realm Where
RPGers Are Idolized Like Sports and Film Stars.

Just as soon as I find a way to get there MYSELF...

Welcome! And thank you. I am pleased that you like it; I am far from
being one of a.g.ww's oldbies, but nonetheless I take a certain
avuncular pride in this group.
