Hi Alphons,

Thanks for the confirmation of some sort of welcome
over on -questions!  

At least I made it 12 hours or so on -chat without
encountering anything but a small problem.

Looking forward to conversing 'over there' with you
Alphons ...

a.k.a. 'Fonz' in the future? (Let me know!)

Best,

PP
