Hello everyone,
As the subject indicates I have been reading these forums for quite some time. I can't give provide an exact date, but I remember reading when it was just Dawgtalk on the official team site, and I do remember the conversion and the birth of Dawgtalkers.
This site has been the source of much of my information and fan pulse, and I've finally decided it's time to step into the light and start posting. Not sure why it's taken me so long to do so, but it's a great community that I hope I can contribute to and continue to learn from in a more active manner. Having been a fly on the wall all this time I feel like I know some of you already (I promise I am not a voyeur of any sort).
I wanted to introduce myself before I randomly start appearing in threads, especially because I plan on heading to straight into the fire (aka Palus Politicus). I really feel I am down the middle overall; depending on the topic, I may lean right or left, so this will be interesting I am sure. I definitely plan to be active in the other forums as well - I more or less wanted to go on record with my view on neutral ground.
And since I'm sharing general views, I really disliked the Baker selection, but as I've been telling people, it's like your sister going out with a guy you dislike that she ends up marrying. He's family now; I'll give him an honest shot.
So "hello", and it's good to be here.

Welcome aboard. You must be a 10 year (or more) lurker.  That has to be some kind of record. 
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

 Welcome to the board. There's plenty of stuff worth posting about besides politics. PP is a noxious echo chamber, where all the arguments are circular, IMO.

Welcome aboard Mikey. Be sure to wear old clothes in the Outhouse because you are bound to get some on you. Perhaps you will be the first person to win an argument over there.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to some good discussion.
And that graph on political conversations is spot on.

It's there for your viewing pleasure now. I couldn't just jump in without dipping a toe in twice here. Not sure what I've gotten myself into lol.
I need to pick an actual football thread, any topic, and reply to it just to balance things out.

Lol I think I made it out relatively unscathed so far. I don't see myself posting there frequently despite reading the various topics often - see the graph posted earlier in this thread as to why.

Welcome Mike! This is a pretty cool place. I am one of the resident Steelers fans here, but not a troll. I live in Cleveland, but used to live in Pittsburgh.
