I'm not doubting your ties to the industry. XPT, like any message board, is about community. You're new here. Nice to know that feeling out this place, getting to know people, and easing in all eludes you. Otherwise, it's just bad form. Manners work everywhere. Yes, even on a forum with a bunch of degenerates talking about some whore's prolapsed rectum and her loser boyfriend who pimps her out for a plasma.
