Greetings and salutations and so forth,

For those of you with really long memories,  I'm back and glad to find
you still here.  I like what you've done with the place, and I'm glad to
find my booth in the back corner unoccupied, if a bit dusty.

For the rest of you, I am the legendary Corwin, Prince of Amber, of whom
you've probably heard absolutely nothing.  I stride through the Shadows,
wielding the power of the Pattern, which is my birthright, struggling
along the trail to the throne of the one true city: Amber.

If you bought that, please hit the delete key now. ;)

Actually, I'm Dave Lodge, a somewhat over-educated webmaster with
delusions of grandeur.  I first joined the list back in either late 1991
or early 1992 (I think.  Perhaps the list's old farts can correct my
failing memory here...).  I've been a member of the list, off and on,
ever since, through college and a failed experiment called grad school,
and on into my professional life.  I mostly write science fiction and
fantasy short stories, although a story I've been wrestling with for
several years is currently threatening to become much more...  I was
married on December 28, 1996, to Myloe Wilson, who I've known for over
eleven years and dated off and on for seven before the wedding.  Shortly
after that, we left our lives in Austin, Texas to start a new existence
in Oklahoma.  If you've seen the movie Twister, you know what that life
must be like on a daily basis. ;)  Just this week, I got an offer for
THE JOB, the one I've been dreaming of for years.  I will be
telecommuting, doing web design and development from my home for the
company I used to work for back in Austin.  It's this wonderful turn of
events that has me deluded into thinking I can handle the ungodly flow
of email this list generates on a daily basis.

But enough about me...  I'll just sit her quietly in my booth with my
ever-full pint of stout.  From time to time I may call one of you over
for a few words, crits about your submissions, praise for your
achievements, etc.  Occasionally, I may have a bit too much to drink,
prompting me to jump up and make a total ass of myself, but such
occasions are rare and are better left ignored.

-corwin, take nothing I say seriously.  Really.  I mean it.
