As a relatively new "un-cloaked" learner-lurker, both here and on "that other board", I think it's understandable that newcomers are reluctant to post, in light of all the experienced, articulate, knowledgable people on LCT, but I do feel that you have all made me feel welcome here. I only hope that I will be able to contribute from time to time.
As for the tea set, Marty wants it, and I for one, want Marty to have it!
