A Short Introduction

You have to forgive my curiosity Jeff but your introductory OP is so very similar to many others a2k has recently experienced, that they have been described by some of our more skeptical participants as the dissemination of a "bot"

Therefore it might be reassuring and certainly more likely to attract responses if you were to tell us something about yourself, that is without revealing anything critical to your identity; such as age, nationality, ed., work, family, motives, etc

..which might also help us address any issues you might subsequently present
