Old Timer? Geesh! I know I just had my birthday but darn man!

I think moving to ezBoards would be a great. Being that I am a bit jealous of the attention you've given your hometown Gaucho Board, I'd be willing to donate for the ezBoard for Poly and also willing to be a moderator. I have also been meaning to start a website... so perhaps this would jumpstart my education in to learning how to do so!

What's next? My email address is:

farleybrandon@hotmail.com

There, now everyone knows my real name too.
