Hello Dave

Nice to see the new forum - I was Bud on the Avsim board but can't use that here. I hope things are now back to some form of normalcy for you.

I would've registered a little sooner but being an old man I have to say that my tired old eyes could not read half the darned letters required to submit the form.

Sorry about that Bernie, not being able to use a short name is my fault, I made it a requirement for usernames to have at least 5 characters. The reason I choose this number of characters was to increase the likelihood of someone using a real name people could relate to, it also makes it easier to remember/spell etc when replying to someone. I find it makes the community a little more friendly if people use real names rather than just handles. Yes I know my username isn't strictly my name either but I've used that name for nearly 10 years now and Andy is my name anyhow :D

It's also my fault that the CAPTCHA's are a little hard to read, I had to do this because there are spam bots now that can read these registration processes if you make them too easy and I hope you agree that anything to keep spam out of the forum has got to be a good thing.

Hello Andy

Not to worry, I'm here now. I agree about the spam thing - just wish my eyes were as young as my brain tells me I should be :geek:
