Willie, I can empathise with your ei/ie woes. I have to stop and check myself everytime I write the word 'weird.'
Anyways, to get on-topic, since I'm still a relative 'newbie,' I feel a bit intimidated at times before jumping in to a highly intellectual discussion. In the Books forum I feel awed, not odd. As I've said before, it's such an incentive to dive into the books, going deeper and finding what I hadn't seen before. Also, seeing things through another perspective provided by a fellow Downer is refreshing and challenging. I don't normally haunt the Movies forum, as the movies don't interest me overmuch, and I'd be afraid to open my mouth and utter something foolish in the presence of such movie buffs.

I like being able to have some fun with things I love so that I don't get to the point where I fail to see humour in certain areas. The Barrow-Downs forum was a bit intimidating at first because there are so many seasoned Downers posting, but it's really one of my favourite places now. Reading through archives is intriguing, since there is alot of Barrow 'history' there, and it's fun to get to know people from their previous posts and see how they've changed or remained the same. As of yet, I haven't gotten involved in an RPG, so I can't pass judgement on those fora yet. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
