Hey there, all!

[Terry van Ettinger]

Hello there, all!
    I generally like to give people some kind of intro to go on in first coming on a list, and I didn't really get a chance for that before jumping into the Olympic conversation.  So should you at some point find yourself wondering who the crazy person with the Earthlink address is, here you go.
    I actually joined the main HPFGU list a few months ago, but due to some erroneous settings in my preferences and such, I was getting the messages in my ganvira at yahoo.com box, an address I really don't even use.  So I wasn't getting any messages from the list on Earthlink, and thought this was a very dead group.  Well, I went to set up a yahoo by phone account...and when I logged into that, I discovered the hidden closet where all the HPforgrownups messages were apparating, and saw some really interesting discussions.  '-)  Yesterday, I went into my groups page and fixed the settings so that the messages actually went to a mailbox I *do* use, and from there I found this off-topic section.
    Aside from being an HP addict, I'm also a musician, avid role-player, co-author and Trekker.  In my role-playing, I'm currently co-moderator of a voicemail-based free-form group (that's how I found yahoo by phone), which involves characters both devised by players and taken from books and such, and spanning a number of worlds.  As for my music, my specialty is folk and classical, although I'll do pretty much anything.  Currently I'm taking music classes at the community college here in Riverside, although I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the end; I'm sort of a misfit, what can I say?
