and realized I had lost my password to this forum. I saw my last post on these forums and the replies to my thread. I would like to mention that reserved judgment would be most appreciated, as I have changed since 2004 when I was ostracized in the hacker network forums for comments implying homophobia. Needless to say, I am far from a homophobe. I am an open-minded and laid-back person. I am an absurdist and a humanist.
I have my little Associates degree of computer programming, and will work on my Bachelor's next semester. I work in a welding shop full-time. I feel the need to post this tidbit in order to hopefully clarify any misinformation pertaining to myself. I can't let go of this relic of my forum-posting past and thus I hope to have a momentous welcoming party.
