I wish to clear the air a bit, myself. When I post, I do affect a dialect. Get me drunk enough, and the same thing will happen when I speak. But the most important thing is that when I post and converse with people, it is all in the spirit of comradery and fun. I have a high-stress job, and being around you good folk help me keep things light. I am eternally in your collective debt for that.
As the days pass, I'll be joining in on some of the more serious, historical discussions. I'm an avid history buff and a lover of all things piratical.
Above all, I enjoy making people laugh. Good company and good friends are a treasure to be cherished.
When the weekend rolls around, the rum flows freely here. So if my writings become goofier than usual, that's why.
Anyhow, that's all I wanted to say. I'm sure I'll babble a bit more later.
