Come on! Don't be shy...

We know you are out there, reading the posts but not responding. Why not introduce yourself? We'll all try to behave and be welcoming.

I'll definitely be welcoming, but "behave" ... I dunno. When the beer spritzer recipes start flowing in, I might not be able to control myself.

There is sort of a strange, hollow echo in here much of the time.

I only posted the thread 8 hours ago...give the shy wallflowers a chance.

8 Hours is a RateBeer Eternity though, JohnWalker~

Last time I checked this wasn't Ratebeer. And what's with the tiny tiny font?

Actually I just alluded to the relativity of time, and thats the tiny, tiny TINY font by the way. Why?

Given Lister's recent beer grading , I kind of hope there are not any newbies lurking...

(I know I know, opinions and all, blah blah blah)

Hey I had a provisal there. That list would look different if I could add stuff to it.

Indeed. What a crummy world it would be if there were only a couple types of "perfect" beer (according to some.)

Yay! See? There are newbies here!

Welcome John. Feel free to post your thoughts, don't be shy to ask questions...there's a lot of strong and sometimes unbending personalities around here (myself included). Don't be frightened off by the passion some of us express on certain topics...it's all well meaning.

Thanks for posting!

Just a joke Lister. I tell the guys I drink with that their opinions are wrong all the time (much like the Jack Black character in High Fidelity). Especially Jerc, he's really wrong...

A Newbie from Whitby. Welcome.

Admitting you are a beer geek is the first step.
