Welcome & RCC

First:

Welcome! (We can't say that loud/big enough!)

Here are a few links you might find helpful:

• Be Bold!
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off. (Including me!)
• Meet other new users
• Learn from others
• Play nice with others
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
• Tell us about you

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page.

We're so glad you're here!

Second:

I wanted to drop by and say hi, and I'm sorry if I was short with you during our discussion at Talk:Roman Catholic Church. I'm usually really nice to newcomers (my mantra is "Don't bite the newcomers!") but I think I was a bit sharp tongued. When that happens, it's important to admit it and say "I'm sorry." I hope I'll see you around. -- Essjay · Talk July 6, 2005 00:27 (UTC)
