i have been lurking on this forum for a few months and thought it was time i joined in.

a big thankyou goes to all who post here, i have enjoyed immensely all the thought provoking discussion and not so thought provoking (thanks recovery/ethos).

i have had heaps to get my head around recently learning the truth about the truth and as i remember reading here before its like digesting a brick.
