An introduction warning

A quick warning guys (and gal),

About a year or so ago a similar thread of individual's backgrounds in
gaming was quite popular, but it did drown out the game related topics
so
number of people unsubscribing went way, way up.  While I find it
interesting to get the background on the rest of the sane gamers here on
the
GZG list, please keep the On Topic GZG related threads going.

(Who turns 33 on Sunday, started in this hobby in right after Star Wars
came
out in '77 when I saw an ad in Boy's Life magazine from ALNAVCO on
spaceship
miniatures, that game was Superior's Star Fleet Wars.  After that got
into
RPGs, mainly AD&D, but still kept on looking for more space games.  Now
into
the '90's I saw a review of Full Thrust in an issue of Vortex magazine,
but
no one knew how to get a copy.	A couple years later tried ordering it
again
and got a copy, was hooked but no one to play with.  Finally got access
to
the net a few years ago, one of the first searches I did was 'Full
Thrust'
and I found the Unofficial FT WWW Page and joined the list.  Now I'm an
official member of the FT community with my name in the FB as a
playtester
and I get to run FT games at GenCon for GeoHex, including the FT
Tournament
