Introductions about someone else for the new folk

Nimh - is that the correct spelling? - I like, but don't know enough to write more.

and George, and .... I'm sure there's more.

I'm a big fan of nimh. He is extremely analytic mixed with very sensitive to issues of many sorts. He pays attention to world wide politics, but not just politics, what is going on in different places. He is a good man with graphs, pie charts, and for all I know, pi. Knowledgeable about a lot, like music. Good street photographer. Presently living in Hungary, originally from Utrecht in the Netherlands.

I see hamburgboy has posted (above). But has he been introduced yet? I'm not sure. Anyway, let me do the honours, if not.

I still call him by his previous username, hamburger. Hamburger (who also happens to be ehBeth's dad) is Canadian. He's a terrific source of fresh information about events in Afghanistan, the middle east & much more. I've personally found his thoughtful contributions, including reasoned, informed comment in discussions & debates, to be really useful & educative. Oh & he can be lots of fun, too. Not just the very serious person I might have suggested.

Sozobe hasn't been around much the past week, but she's another poster I admire.

Yes, that's the correct spelling. At Abuzz, his screen name was No It's Me Habibi--hence, NIMH.

Am I pleased to meet you, salima!

Welcome, welcome!

You are obviously such a wise & discerning person!

You've got to tell us more about this wise tom, though. If you can't find the cat thread (you can pretty easily, by checking out my "topics" - in my profile) let me know.

Another cat person. What a moment!

Oh good! Excellent!

And thanks for adding to my way too limited list, JPB.

Rockhead may have been covered, but I want to be sure he gets on here, as well as a rat named roger. Roger don't play music that I am aware of, and his politics sucks, but aside from that he's a great poster. Rock does music and mechanics and whatever else strikes his fancy on here.

bpb (bear) has a new CD.

Roger's politics don't suck. They're different than mine, but we agree to disagree where necessary. I adore that rat.

It's a personal joke between roger and me.

Ok then.

Thank you.

Actually, I use littlek as a moral compass, but only when my own sense of direction fails. She's also one of the very few teachers I actually trust with education. This is likely because she came to the profession after forming her own world view.

Thanks for the introduction, Edgar. I was about to declare myself MIA.

Yes, I'm shocked, shocked, indeed, that you have forgotten about us and our cats (Sophie has been doing just fine!).

I've been around, but relatively quiet, until today, and yesterday. I am coming out of the closet for a comeback.

It's certainly good to read your posts, always popular with me.

[thumbs up]

Thank you, you sweet man.

And I'm delighted that Sophie is doing so well.

Good lord, man, I am your moral compass!? What is the world coming to.


<thanks>

Meantime, we haven't mentioned Fbaezer, easily one of the most intelligent people at a2k, also possessed of wit and story telling ability. He is an editor in Mexico city with a vast range of knowledge.

Another person who hasn't been mentioned is Blatham. He doesn't post much here since he started his blog, but when he does it is almost always about something thought-provoking. He likes to walk around the forums in a Canadian Mounty uniform to remind us he's from up north. He recently married another long-time A2Ker by the name of Lola; both of whom have made treks to the mecca called Albuquerque.

Then there are the mothers extraordinaire, consisting of Sozobe, Freeduck, Linkat, Boomerang, Izzy, Calamity Jane, Shewolf, and, by honorable mention, DrewDad. All are parents of younguns who seek and share child rearing tips, memories and troubles.

Heartily endorsing your comments, osso.
When fbaezer posts, I always pay attention. (Apart from some weird fantasy football thread! What is that about? )
But when it comes to politics & film, especially, an impeccable, knowledgeable authority, in my book.
