I added a page explaining myself to any of the confused Portadown News readers who showed up expecting political satire or whatever. Evidentally you have been coming, as I checked my stats and I was getting hits from bbc.co.uk, qub.ac.uk, gsi.gov.uk, nics.gov.uk, and others, plus folks from Spain, Sweden, Australia, Ireland.... Cool. Welcome.

This is something of a shock to me, as I always figured I was just yelling out into the void. My first stats confirmed that -- I could pretty much guess every person who came to read the site. But, I don't know anyone at the BBC, or at MIT, or at Stanford, or anyone in Maine, or anyone who works at StateStreet.com. Hi. How ya doing? And what the hell are you doing here? Not that I mind, of course -- that's the point of the "world wide" part of the web -- but it's still a bit of a shock.

Introduce yourselves, ok?
