Howdy,

This site is absolutely awesome, I have been reading up on here since I first heard that you existed back in April, just before last playoffs, and I have found this site to be very entertaining and informative.

I am a born and raised Calgarian, and Die hard Flames and Stamps fan.

I found myself in social situations within my close family and friends and have raised concerns such as: People not wearing red/red jerseys at games, the banners in the rafters not being consistent, and the heroin draft not having quite the same effect since they started using different plastic cups. I am often met with with a curious horror as the people closest to me suggest that "Who really cares?" and "It really doesn't matter".

Needless to say, as I read thread after therad, I felt at home here in the CP.

I decidied to actively join, even thugh I couldnt possibly contribute regularily as much as some of you do, but I feel like CP is already a small part of me, so any small contribution that I can make should be worthwhile.

Questions:

1) How do I read white text? I have already missed out on the entire Michael Jackson thread and countless other inside material.

2) People can be "thanked on their useful posts" here. I have never seen that on other message boards.There appears to be a limit on the amount of "Thanks" that one can give. Is there some kind of ultra-canadiana thank you etiquite that a new commer should be aware of? This is the first time that I have logged on as a member , so these answers may become more obvious as I poke around.

Comments:

1) Thank You for the Funny Picture Thread, I make a point of checking in every week or two, and every time it is absolute gold.

2) Thank You AC for the videos.

3) Thank you for recently explaining what IIRC stood for, I tried to figure that out all summer and couldn't make the connection.

I plan on spending most of the next 4 weeks in the football gambling threads until hockey starts I hope to see everyone there.

Go Flames!
