Another one who looked in after an absence, and noticed the new Ship. I can see a lot of familiar faces, and one or two new ones.
My original name on the Ship was Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, but that proved unwieldy and eventually I shortened it to MSHB.
It moved through Middle Shire Hobbit Brigade IIRC, although (and from dim memory) you don't live in the middle of the Shire but the south-west of it. Welcome back
Getting new software is kind of a jubilee year thing. Unless we discover you wrote the anonymous op-ed piece in the NY Times that came from a top Trump administration official.
If you take a few minutes to check out the 10 Commandments and FAQs (links on the main boards page), they should tell you everything you need to know about what's what and who's who.
I have been watching the on board activity through binoculars from the comfort of a dockside tavern but found the King's Shilling at the bottom of my glass, so here I am on the ship!
My name? - Definitely not as wise as Solomon, but hopefully not a complete fool.
I thought it was a way of saying something being discussed had intrigued you enough to want to post. My response was trying to say it would be interesting seeing what had engaged you. I originally came on board, after lurking for probably a year, because I knew the answer to a question someone had posted in Ecclesiantics - and even then I posted the answer as a private message.
As you've already been lurking, you probably have a good idea of what's what on the boards, but if you have any questions, the 10 Commandments and FAQ pages (links on the home page) should tell you everything you need to know.

I’ll be investigating the required reading that new joiners are steered towards.
But, for now, nice to meet you all, virtually as it were.
As for the hymnal, the hymn is Thou Whose Almighty Word...you find the hymnal!
That was my first thought too. However I see now that all has been revealed.
Welcome aboard.
