Lurking for a while, finally saying hello

I have been watching, reading, and learning from ATS since 2006. I have wanted to speak up on numerous occasions but decided it was not yet time. I have a serious proposal to discuss, and knowing too little about the topic I figured the best minds to "wiki" with would be ATS, as nothing is too far fetched.

I guess more about me will come in the future, but in the mean time I will try to share some opinions and knowledge on previous posts.

Talk to you all soon.

Welcome to ATS...enjoy the ride...

By the way we have made up a special little presentation for you, so have a seat, kick back and enjoy the little tour.. (Johnny lowers the lights and starts the projector up)

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, so with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.


* Please check out those links posted above before getting on one of the rides. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

* Please be sure to act like an 'civil' adult and are at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward).

* Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your all on. You should be mentally fit, stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

* Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might expect. Be aware you also might end up learning something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride.

* Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

* Please have fun! But be aware that if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentially spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is not only for your safety, but also for those both young and old on the ride with you.


So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!

That's some good lurking time - tops mine but I hope like me you're glad you joined the ride.

I have a serious proposal to discuss

Sounds intriguing and I look forward to hearing it when you are ready to put it out there.

Peace!

Thank you for the welcome. I will post it as soon as I've contributed my fair share, which appears to be 20 posts. I hope I can provide something of value to the discussions.
