Thank you all for your warm welcome and kind comments. It's good to be at a forum where people are actually civil... I've had a rather traumatic experience trying to get involved on the general forums on Czech news websites, so this is a nice change. Insults hurt even if they're just "virtual."

Yes, I think there's a better chance for me to actually get through to Miguel via this site... pathetic, given the fact he's usually only 2 meters away from me! I've been heard to scream in despair I HATE ET!!!! I HATE THE F*£($&G COMPUTER!!! Mind you, I was thrilled when Miguel got into a conflict with someone on ET and swore he wouldn't be back... finally he'd be with ME!!! Alas, that didn't last long.

So I have no choice but to join the enemy. What one does for love... He's been prodding me for a long time to get involved, whining about the lack of "Czech blood" on ET... well, I know much less about the current affairs in the EU than him (but I actually have a life, and Jonathan's still alive!), so I'm not sure how much I will be able to contribute to the pool of knowledge, but I will try.
