Come out, come out, whoever you are!
Ok, let's try to get this place moving!
Even if you lurk, go ahead and answer! I think these are vague and random enough that they won't identify you IRL. No need for formal introductions if you don't want, or introduce yourself if you'd like! Whatever. I just like reading material 
So, say hello!
