" The Fifth Element."

Thank you.  I recognised the term but could not place it.

 

Hello and Welcome, Glen.

A gallimaufry of lines of speech or quotations tend to pop unbidden to the forefront of my mind.  

Sometimes with an obvious connection to what my brain was dong, sometimes sparked by who-knows-what.

 

"Why us, Sarge, why us?"

"Because we're here, lad.  And there's nobody else."

Welcome to our crazy place, Mr. Popsicle.  Please read the rules when you get a chance---we are pretty relaxed about language and behavior, so we try not to have too many rules.

 

I remember how nervous I was when I joined here, so I hope you will look around and feel comfortable soon.  There is a lot of information here that might be helpful to you.  Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Question: the Rx/Dx in people's signature, is it a propery of the profile or just something people add to their signatures?

People have to purposely add that if they want it.  You'll notice that my signature is just a few sentences.  It is totally up to you whether or not you want to have your dx and rx in your signature.

 

We're big on anonymity here, so no one will be critical if you don't give out much information.

Superb, and no, it's not just gung-ho British troops slaughtering black natives. It's a lot more nuanced that that, even though dating from 1964.

I'd rate even higher "The Man Who Would Be King", but it is quirky and not for everyone.
