My name is Scotty and was brought into the world at the end of 1971. I was born in South Louisiana and I'm raising a family here in central Ohio and toiling away daily for a corporate power as I plot towards a better way of life. I've got lots of "irons in the fire" and strive to educate myself constantly because it is one hunger I've never been able to satiate. If you have any questions feel free to ask I may or may not answer.

Welcome Scotty. We use real names here, so Doug will need to change your username once we know your last name.

Your password will be the same, so when the change is made you'll be able to log in with your real name and the same password.

As Donovan says, we use real names here so as to correctly attribute any intellectual property anyone might generate. So we'll need your real name for that. I can then change your login (password doesn't change for that, in fact I don't even have access to it).

So, Scotty, since you didn't mention your expertise, what sort of questions might we expect to be able to ask? What's your field?
For example, there's not much point asking a topologist the difference between a coffee cup and a donut, since the only thing he cares about is that both have just one hole.
