Hello everybody. I hope that each and everyone of you is doing well. It's great to be here of course. My name is Nadeem. I live in London and I am 48 years old. The reason I am here is plain and simple. This forum is about conferring rather than conforming. In a world full of cynics, we have a corner where building is preferred to tearing down.

We live in a matrix of predetermined dimensions and at best we become good responders. The parameters are laid out for us and all we have to do is play the game. Conversely, there are people like you who dare to be themselves. What a paradox! A birth right has now become an audacity. Anyhow, I am here to appreciate the audacity of creativity - publisher or no publisher.

I hope to devour hundreds of wisdom nuggets over the next few days. I have no idea about the fora here but I am looking forward to finding out. Take care and all the best.

It's our pleasure to have you join us! You're right; it's a rare website that won't tolerate tearing down, trolls, and, uh, damn it, I wanted something else that started with a T. Tears? Tomfoolery?

Maryn, at a loss for the right word yet again
