I'd like to join in more here.  I've been a member here since 2003 but used to have terrible trouble getting here on dialup.  Now with ADSL things are much better and I've been coming here more and more of late.  Some of you will know me from my activities at 3DCommune and I have never been sure how welcome I am here as I shall continue to be a member of both sites (as well as Daz forums, CP forums, PlanIT3D,  numerous C4D forums and CG talk :D  I'm a forumholic really trying to learn as much as I can anywhere).

All I care about is learning as much as I can and shamelessly search any forum I belong to when I'm working on an image to pick up tips.  I like writing tutorials and if I ever think I've got something worth sharing that not everybody knew before the dawn of time apart from me then I happily pass it along.

I owe a great deal to this site for some things I now practice regularly in production of my images, not least Bikermouse's Tiffer and AgentSmith's tips on Greyscale.  I finished a pic using these on Monday and must get round to putting it up in the gallery here :)

I don't come to the chat btw, though I've nearly tried a few times because I just don't think fast enough to join a conversation involving more than one person other person.  :D
